==History== |
|||
Before 1948, Monroeville students could choose to attend nearby schools on a tuition basis. In the mid 1950's, the districts joined and began making plans for a new senior high school. Official action began February 1956, breaking ground in January 1957. |
|||
The joint School Board selected the name of '''Gateway Senior High School'''. By September 1958, 900 students from Monroeville and Pitcairn were occupying the new high school. The first graduating class of 196 students received their diplomas in June 1959. For the next 25 years, grades 10-11-12 would attend school in the high school. 1983 marked the beginning of a new era at Gateway. Ninth grade was moved to the high school, '''South Junior High School''' became the '''Gateway Upper Elementary''' (5-6), and '''Monroeville Junior High School''' became '''Gateway Junior High School''' (7-8). Eleven years later, in 1994, Gateway Upper Elementary became the Moss Side Middle School (5-6), and Gateway Junior High School became Gateway Middle School (7-8). |

In 2007, the district completed its reconstruction and expansion of the high school complex. This complex includes the Monroeville Public Library, Pete Antimarino Football Stadium, the high school, Moss Side Middle School, administration offices, and various other multi-use sports fields. |
