The Southern Huntingdon County School District is a public rural school district based in the southeastern part of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania in Three Springs, Pennsylvania. The school district includes all of Three Springs Borough, Cassville Borough, Orbisonia Borough, Rockhill Furnace Borough, Saltillo Borough, Shade Gap Borough, and including the townships of Cass Township, Clay Township, Cromwell Township, Dublin Township, Springfield Township and Tell Township. The district encompasses approximately 221 square miles. According to 2000 federal census data, it serves a resident population of 8,030. According to District officials, in school year 2007-08 the SHCSD provided basic educational services to 1,358 pupils through the employment of 113 teachers, 67 full-time and part-time support personnel, and 8 administrators.
The Southern Huntingdon County School System became effective on July 1, 1956, at which time all school boards of all twelve municipalities signed the district's Articles of Agreement. Two high Schools were consolidated (Orbisonia and Saltillo). Rockhill and Shade Gap Elementary Schools were the first two buildings constructed in 1956, followed by Spring Farms and Trough Creek Valley Elementary Schools in 1961, consolidating 55 one-room schoolhouses into only four buildings. Ground was broken on the High School on July 11, 1960, students occupied the facility on September 1, 1962, and dedication was held November 4 that year. In 2004, an renovtion/addition project was completed adding a middle school to the secondary campus. The final action was completed on July 1, 1966, officially forming the Southern Huntingdon County School District.
