Overview

It is located at 252 Routes 6 and 209 in Westfall Township, between Milford and Matamoras, Pennsylvania, USA. The original high school, which is now the Delaware Valley Elementary School, was built in 1956 when the Milford High School and the Matamoras High School merged. The main part of the current high school was constructed in 1972 and has had many additions since then to meet student demand. The school is split into two sub-schools, a 9/10 High School serving grades 9 and 10 and an 11/12 High School serving grades 11 and 12. Each section has its own set of administration, guidance counselors, etc. This school also has the Delaware Valley Middle School attached, which consists of children in 7-8.

In 2008, a minor controversy erupted when a news report surfaced alleging that 10% of the middle and high school student population was infected with a sexually transmitted disease.^[1]
