Bald Eagle-Nittany High School was a public high school in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania. The building has since been renovated and is now Central Mountain Middle School.
Bald Eagle-Nittany High School first opened for the 1955-56 school year. Its name originates from the area where its students lived; from both valleys of Mount Nittany and Bald Eagle Mountain. The student body came from Mill Hall, Beech Creek, Pennsylvania, Lamar Township, Pennsylvania, Porter Township, Pennsylvania, and Bald Eagle Township, Pennsylvania. In 1999, after already being joined by the majority of the Sugar Valley High School students, Bald Eagle-Nittany merged with Lock Haven High School and the three schools formed Central Mountain High School. After the merger, events such as the homecoming celebration mentioned were lost, along with the rivalry between these schools. Central Mountain students now have their own traditions.
Contributions were made through funds raised from the athletic clubs.
The Panther grapplers turned out a record of 450-221-11 over the school's forty-three years earning a .670 win percentage.
Coach George Custer coached seven wrestlers to twelve District 6 individual titles, three wrestlers to four state titles and also had two runners-up. Coach Custer was inducted into the Pennsylvania Wrestling Association Coaches Hall of Fame in 1973.
After Coach Custer, Coach Charles "Biff" Walizer headed the program for the next 25 years, amassing a 294-155-6 mark and ten District 6 titles, winning six straight at the end of his career. Coach Walizer coached thirty-two individual champions to fifty-two total titles at the District 6 tournament. He also coached four individual champions to eight state-level titles with six runners-up. Coach Walizer was inducted into the Pennsylvania Wrestling Association Coaches Hall of Fame in 2003.
