Division Avenue High School, Public high school in Levittown, United States
Division Avenue High School is a public secondary school in Levittown, New York, serving students from the surrounding community. The campus includes classrooms, science labs, and shared spaces that make up the everyday structure of school life.
The school opened in 1948 as Division Avenue School, during the early growth of Levittown as one of the first planned suburban communities in the United States. It held its first graduation in 1960, marking the point when it became a fully recognized secondary school.
The school sits at the heart of everyday life in Levittown, where students gather for classes, clubs, and after-school activities that shape the rhythm of the neighborhood. For many local families, this building has been part of their story for generations.
Because this is an active school, the campus is generally not open to casual visitors during school hours and access may be restricted at other times as well. Anyone planning a visit for a specific reason should contact the school in advance to find out when entry is possible.
Sterling Morrison and Moe Tucker, who would later form part of The Velvet Underground, both attended this school in the early 1960s before the band ever existed. Around the same time, comic book writer Len Wein was also a student here, years before he helped create Wolverine and other now-famous characters.
