The first recorded purchase of land for educational purposes in Haverford Township was made on October 28, 1797.

A stone structure erected on a site along Darby Road at the crossroads Coopertown served as a school until 1872.

[3] Today, known as the Federal School, the building still stands and serves as a window to history for Haverford Township children.

With the dawn of a new decade and World War I in the past, Haverford Township began experiencing another wave of expansion.

The most significant physical addition to the school during these years was the demolition of a small building at the rear center of the (used as counselling suite and lounge area) and the construction of a three-floor addition to house new and spacious science classrooms/laboratories, as well as large seminar classrooms.

With this change, rear classrooms in the center of the original building lost exterior windows, and now looked out over open common space adjacent to two new cafeterias, separated by a large new kitchen.

With the construction of the additions, the wood, metal, and motor shops were eliminated from the building, along with those courses.

The station is continuing to branch out into the community with the effort spearheaded by producing a product that township residents can understand and enjoy while teaching students necessary skills and encouraging creativity.
