History

The Astoria School District (pre-k through 12th grade) is housed in one building. Astoria built the present high school in the early fifties and built an addition to house the Junior High and Elementary in the early 1970s. Due to a builder's strike during construction, many aesthetic and basic design features were omitted. Since that time such amenities as floor tile, paint, carpet, and electrical outlets have been added. Astoria schools were awarded a Technology Grant for Economically Challenged Schools which allowed the district to inform the community and involve community members in academic planning. The school purchased new computers and software, as well as wired the building and started training the staff in computer skills. The award of Technology Integration Funds two years later continues the trend of improving the school's technology base. [8]
