WebsiteSheffield Area Middle/High School

Sheffield Area Middle/High School was a public middle and high school located in the middle of Pennsylvania's Allegheny National Forest. The Sheffield campus is located in the Sheffield census-designated place,[4] Sheffield Township, along US Route 6 between Clarendon and Sheffield in eastern Warren County and is located on a 43-acre (17 ha) site. Sheffield Area Middle School/High School was one of four high schools operated by the Warren County School District.

The enrollment was about 600 in 1980, and by spring 2024 it was down to 224. In the 2024-2025 school year, due to a lack of employees, the school district began requiring Sheffield area high school students to take core classes at Warren Area High School, while they would take electives at Sheffield Area Middle-High.[5] In 2025 the school board voted to close the high school, and the building was to be repurposed into a combined elementary and middle school.[6]
