Seneca Valley Intermediate High School houses ninth and tenth grades on the secondary campus and holds a unique place in school district history.
Opening in 1964 as Seneca Valley Senior High, the only partially completed school encompassed ninth through twelfth grades and combined the Evans City and Zelienople high schools. Due to a growing population, the current Senior High School was built in 1994 to include eleventh and twelfth grades, and the original Senior High became the Intermediate High School.
Through these more than forty years, the Intermediate High School’s faculty, staff, and administration have continued to dedicate themselves to providing excellence in education for the students they serve.
Mr. Alan Cumo, Principal
Mr. Robert Raso, Assistant Principal

*The sports offered in 1964 were football, basketball, and track.
*In 1964, the education of Seneca Valley did not include words, such as "computer"or "software."
*The groundbreaking ceremony for the school in 1962 was attended by several Seneca Native Americans, including a chief from New York.
*Congratulations go out again to Mrs. Michele Murray and Mrs. Tracey O'Toole for receiving another grant that will benefit Intermediate High School students. The teachers received a grant for calculator-based data collection equipment that will be used in interdisciplinary lessons combining students from Algebra 2 and Chemistry. Elements of spectroscopy can be used by the teachers of both courses to meet academic standards within each course. Our appreciation goes out to the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh for making this educational opportunity possible for our students.
*Thanks to Westinghouse Electric Company for awarding the Intermediate High School a $1000 grant as part of their "N-Visioning a Brighter Future Program." As a result of the grant, students in Honors Chemistry and Honors Algebra 2 will participate in a project entitled "Radioactive Decay: An Interdisciplinary Approach." The project is designed to develop students' science, math, and technology skills. Congratulations to Mrs. Tracey O'Toole and Mrs. Michele Murray for their work in writing and applying for this grant.
*PPG awarded the Intermediate High School two grants this year, one for twenty licenses of Inspiration, a concept-mapping software, and the other for twenty-five individual teacher accounts for Quia.com, an online activity, test, and webpage generator. Thanks to PPG for their support of education, teachers, and students.
