===Hiestand School=== [[File:School East York PA.JPG|Hiestand School|thumb]] In 1912, the John S. Hiestand School was built in the area on land donated by John S. Longstreet. This school was built in what was then the Independent School District. A graded school, managed by a progressive Board of Directors, its students were taught by competent teachers in all grades from first to eighth and prepared for entrance into York High School. There, tuition was paid for by the Independent School District under an agreement with the city school board. The first consideration in designing and erecting the building was the children's welfare. The building was located in the center of ample playgrounds, had two classrooms, boys' and girls' cloakrooms, functional toilets, and large basement playrooms for use in bad weather. The school, where all students and residents could obtain free use of well-selected books, also maintained a public library. The original two classrooms were doubled to four in 1927 and there were six rooms by 1937. The Hiestand School was closed in June 1978 for financial reasons and due to declining enrollment, and has been used subsequently by various community organizations.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://www.springettsbury.com/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC={A3A864AF-55B8-4DB0-BF0D-623CBF7BE4D3}&DE={E94CBC76-2316-4017-BE6F-187A1FC6A018} |chapter-url=http://www.springettsbury.com/vertical/sites/%7B4CA0C2A3-83C3-431C-8CE2-5C40D45B8BA2%7D/uploads/%7B5D886F4D-6B92-4253-9003-AB14A8F0C25D%7D.PDF |title=History of Springettsbury Township |chapter=Chapter IX: Early School Days |year=1990 |access-date=December 24, 2015 |publisher=Springettsbury Township }}</ref>
