The school traces its history to 1806 to the Harrison Academy, a private school that was established not long after the founding of Malone.

History

The first school in Malone was founded in 1806, not long after the town was established and was named Harrison Academy. The original structure was constructed from timber cut and hewed at the location of the school building, which also housed a courthouse, jails and place for worship. [3] Originally a private institution, in 1831 it was made public and rechartered as Franklin Academy and housed in a new building made of stone. In 1868 Franklin Academy was merged with other schools located in the village of Malone. [4]

In 1930 the school moved into a new building on Academy Street where it was housed until moving to its current location in 1968. [5] The former location on Academy Street is currently the location of Malone Middle School. The school completed a major expansion in 2003, nearly doubling the size of the building. Many new classrooms were added as well as a new cafeteria, pool gallery, gym lobby and fitness center. In the existing building, the quadrangle was converted into a new two-story library. The main lobby was altered and a new reception and attendance office was added, significantly reducing its previous size. Most of the front steps were removed and replaced with gardens, with a small portion of steps being replaced and enclosed. [6]
