🔙 Throwback Thursday: A Glimpse into Amity High School’s Rich History! 🔙
Did you know the building on the corner of Rt 662 and Weavertown Road has a history that dates back to the 1930s? Originally constructed for the 1931-32 school term, the first iteration of Amity High School consisted of 11 rooms, a gym/auditorium, and served grades 1-12. 🌟
By 1939, the school expanded with four new classrooms and a shop to meet the growing needs of the community. As Amity continued to thrive, another addition came in 1953, bringing with it four more classrooms, a cafeteria, updated lavatories, a remodeled gym/auditorium, and a modernized heating system. ❄️🔥
Fast forward to 1956, when a movement to enlarge school districts led to the formation of the Daniel Boone Joint School System, which included Amity, Birdsboro, and Union Townships. The changes didn’t stop there! In 1972, as Amity continued to flourish, seven more classrooms and a library were added to the building. 📚✏️
The final additions came in the 1980s with two more classrooms, and over time, the building became the Amity Elementary Center (grades 1-5) then transitioning to Amity Primary Center (grades K-2) when the new Amity Intermediate Center building was constructed.
Today, the building is home to River Rock Academy and Berks Encore, continuing its legacy of serving the community in new ways. 🏫
