Our schools are located in the rural area; the school properties were once a farm. Therefore, the address is the town of Westover, but the campus is not in the town; located approximately 4-5 miles from Westover.
From Altoona and Route 36 South of Westover:
Take Rte. 36 North to Patton, PA; follow Rte. 36 North to Westover. Route 36 is the Main Street of the town of Westover. When you have traveled to almost the end of the town on 36, watch for the intersection of Rte. 36 and Harmony Rd. (large white house on corner on your right) a log cabin will be on the left; also a blue and white sign should have the Harmony Area Schools on it and you will turn left; traveling for approximately 3 miles up a steep winding road; at the T intersection of Harmony Rd. and Ridge Rd., turn right and follow the Ridge Rd. for 1 mile. The school will be on your right-High School closest to the highway and the elementary is situated slightly behind-there are two driveways-one for each section of the building. All visitors must enter via the offices; there is a buzzer system at each building to gain entrance to them.
From State College, Coalport, Irvona, Moshannon Valley and Philipsburg - Routh 53:
The shortest route is to utilize Rte. 322 to Philipsburg; then Rte. 53 South; Rte. 53 passes through the following towns: Osceola Mills, Houtzdale, (passing a landmark of the Moshannon Valley Schools on the left), Madera, Glen Hope, Irvona. Rte. 53 in Irvona bears to the left and you will see the Dollar General Store is straight ahead of you. Turn to the RIGHT onto Rose Street at this intersection (Dollar General). You will now be traveling on legislative routes and therefore a series of landmarks is required in the directions. Travel for approximately 1.5 miles to a T intersection; turn left (Glendale Sportsman's Club is located on the left). This road is named Black Elk (SR 3014). Follow this twisting cow path for about 3 miles to the next T intersection; turn left onto Punkin Ridge Road. (A white church-McPherron will be located on your left after the turn). Take the first paved road to the right (North Camp Road) and follow it until you come to a stop sign. Turn right travel about 1/10th of a mile (white church on corner of this intersection) turn left onto Five Points Road (a Harmony Area Schools sign - blue and white should be located at this turn). Follow this road for 3.2 miles to a stop sign (T-intersection); Turn left onto Ridge Road and continue for 1.1 miles - Harmony Area Schools will be located on your left.
