History

Albert Gallatin High School was created in 1961, ^[2] consolidating the Masontown and Point Marion high schools at the present-day AG Middle School South campus, near Point Marion. It was not until 1986 that the present building (the former Fairchance-Georges High School) was used as the sole High School for the district, merging all three (at that time) district's High Schools and creating two Middle Schools. The name was briefly changed to Tri-Valley High School, representing the changes. Finally, in 1993, the school board renamed the school to its present name, to reflect the founding father of the area, Albert Gallatin. Within 1993 and now, the school had a complete renovation and addition process, as well as technology improvements, and a new Athletic Complex, ^[3] including a new fieldhouse.

For other history viewing of the Albert Gallatin High School, back in 1995, students recorded videos on a handheld camera and uploaded them onto YouTube. These videos demonstrate how and what the student life looked like back in 1995.
