The town's high school, Ford City Jr/Sr High School did not have a separate junior high school. Grades seven through twelve were combined in one building. Unlike the elementary school, the high school was located in Ford City's "downtown" area at 1100 Fourth Avenue, Ford City. According to the Ford City High School Alumni Association [https://web.archive.org/web/20091229222148/http://www.fordcityalumni.org/], FCHS opened its doors in 1909, awarding diplomas to its first graduating class of 4 students on May 10, 1910. The school awarded diplomas to its final graduating class in June 2015. Today, students from Ford City attend Armstrong Jr/Sr High School, a combined 7-12th grade school located at 300 Buffington Drive in Manor Township between Ford City and Kittanning.
