==Kane Area School District==
The [[Kane Area School District]] has two schools that house the district's 1,220 students (as of the 2013–14 school year). The Kane Area High School, which opened in 1972, is located just outside Kane in Wetmore Township. The high school sits on the former site of [[Thomas L. Kane|General Thomas Kane]]'s homestead, which burned to the ground in 1896. The high school auditorium stage is roughly where Gen. Kane's front porch would have sat, looking out over the valley where the present-day football field and track sit. The high school houses grades nine through twelve.

The Kane Area Elementary-Middle School is located on West Hemlock Avenue and opened in 2010. The existing middle school was renovated in a multimillion-dollar project by the district, and a new elementary wing was added on the east side of the former junior high. The elementary-middle school houses students from kindergarten through eighth grade.

The construction of the new addition at the middle school was in response to KASD's board of directors voting to close the Mount Jewett Elementary School and the Chestnut St. Elementary School. Mount Jewett closed after the 2006–07 school year, while Chestnut St. closed after the 2009–10 school year. The Mount Jewett school has since been sold to a private businessman. The Chestnut St. Complex is currently owned by [http://www.kaneinnovations.com Kane Innovations] and used as office space for Kane Innovations, the KASD, Head Start and the Intermediate Unit 9.
