History

In the early 1850s, Wellsville opened its first high school, which was originally known as Union High School. A second school was later constructed in 1875, then known as Central High School.
As population grew, Wellsville once again built a new high school in 1917 as Wellsville High School.
In the 1930s, a gymnasium was added along with more classrooms.
In 1996, a school levy was passed to construct a new Junior/Senior High School, which opened in 2001 at its current campus.[4]
