When progressive civic leaders of the Borough of Farrell acted to crystallize their plans for making Farrell a third class city with the beginning of the year 1932, the administrative and educational systems were open for inspection. 

A close inspection of the schools soon revealed that the educational system had kept pace with the borough’s industrial and economic development. The firmness of the foundation upon which the school leaders have built gave confidence to civic leaders that the school system would continue to meet the educational needs of the city’s young.

     The Borough of Farrell had its inception in 1901 and during that same year two frame school buildings were erected, From that beginning the school system has expanded until it includes four modern grade buildings, a special building for the Seventh grade, and the Junior-Senior High which is “home” for students from the Eighth to the Twelfth grades.

     Not only does the physical equipment of the school system compare favorably with other progressive third class cities, but the system is also modern and up-to-date in its curriculum and methods. All requirements of the state in regards to courses are complied with, while advanced strides have been made in several special fields.
