School history

The Redbank Valley School opened its doors for the first time for the start of the 1957-58 school term. For two years prior to the school's opening, the students were educated at the local Fire Hall, an automotive garage, and other facilities in the community of New Bethlehem. The school was renovated during the summer of 1996, at which time, the nearby Redbank Creek overflowed its banks, causing moderate damage to the school. The school was featured on ABC's Nightline during the presidential election of 2016. It was again featured on ABC's Nightline after the first 100 days of the Trump presidency.

Graduation requirements

Students at Redbank must complete 25 credits of coursework, which included the state-mandiated Graduation Project and score sufficiently on the PSSA's.
