Contents

The school was formed by the separation of Erie Middle and High School. Currently there are over 1400 students attending the school. It is anticipated that each Freshman class will now enter Erie High School with around 400 students. The building was designed to honor the town of Erie's mining history, as the color scheme is of the color of coal, though the school colors are tiger orange and black. The school opened its doors in 2005 and was later expanded to accommodate enrollment growth in 2018.

Due to overcapacity, the school has put a hold on its open enrollment program. All students that aren’t in the high schools zone will be denied access. [2]
