[4] The first high school students were housed in elementary schools or sent to Beaver for senior classes and graduation, in 1913 the first senior class graduated from the Logstown building and whose names are as follows: Lehman Howard, Elvira Davis, Carol Howard, Eleanor Calhoun, Edwin Davis, and Ruth Scott.

[4] Shortly after that a two-story building was erected on the foot of the Plan 12 hill and was dedicated as Woodlawn High School.

In 1924, a new high school was erected on the hilltop overlooking the Franklin Avenue Business District.

Named Harding High School after the late President Warren G. Harding who died in office during its construction, it was renamed Aliquippa High School on June 8, 1930, due to the merger of the Boroughs of Woodlawn and Aliquippa two years earlier in 1928.

Aliquippa's population was declining due to the collapse of the steel industry, and the school district's enrollment dropped from 3,900 in 1973 to 1,500 that year.

Renovations included a new air conditioning system, doors to the classrooms/building, new kitchen equipment, floors, lights, ceiling panels, paint, and a new main school entrance.

The Aliquippa Quips compete in the 4A of the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League.

Aliquippa is the only high school in America with three alumni in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
