Public high schools in PennsylvaniaSchools in Centre County, Pennsylvania

Bellefonte Area High School (previously known as Bellefonte High School) is a high school serving Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. “During the height of airmail operations in Bellefonte in 1925, as many as fifteen people worked there full-time. By 1926, though, powerful long-range aircraft were able to fly directly from New York to Cleveland, bypassing Bellefonte. The terminal was relegated to the status of emergency field only. All other intermediary cities lost their regular service too: Bryan, Iowa City, North Platte, Rawlins, and Rock Springs. Today, the site of Bellefonte airmail terminal, formerly the Beaver farm, is now the Bellefonte Area Senior High School. A single green, metal sign identifies what happened there eighty years ago.” [Mavericks of the Sky, The First Daring Pilots of the U.S. Air Mail, Rosenberg & Macaulay, 2007]
