Haverford Middle School is the public middle school of Haverford Township, Pennsylvania, United States, operated by the School District of Haverford Township. It is at 1701 Darby Road in Havertown. The school serves the entirety of Haverford Township.

History

At the end of World War I, the Township population increased significantly, necessitating a new High School. The former Oakmont School served that purpose until the construction of Haverford High School in 1923. The building now serves as the Haverford Middle School, after the construction of the current high school in 1956.

The Haverford Middle School is notable for its exterior construction of entirely gray granite stone, taken from the former quarry site in Llanerch, used in many Main Line homes and other institutional buildings. The historic building underwent a $62 million renovation that was completed in 2012.

Sports

The Haverford Middle School sports teams are called the "Fords," and they have a Model T Ford as their mascot, just as does the High School.
