Arsenal Junior High School, Historic school building in Lower Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, United States
Arsenal Junior High School occupies a substantial brick building featuring PWA Moderne architecture, combining Neoclassical and Art Deco design elements throughout its structure.
The school, established in 1932, stands on the former grounds of the Allegheny Arsenal, which manufactured munitions during the American Civil War.
The educational institution maintains strong connections with its neighborhood through community programs and continues to serve students from diverse backgrounds in Pittsburgh.
The building complex currently houses two separate educational facilities: Arsenal 6-8 for middle school students and Arsenal PreK-5 for elementary education.
The school's athletic field gained recognition as the training ground for Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas, commemorated by a historical marker installed in 2004.
