School history

Ground was broken on the school on July 18, 1971, but due to extended construction strikes, the school was not completed in time for the 1972-73 school term. Until the school was completed, the school held classes at two temporary sites near Ebensburg. The school was completed around November 17, 1972, with only five of the current eight schools participating. The school was named for Admiral Robert E. Peary, who was raised in nearby Cresson.
