      Abington Senior High School's mascot is a Ghost. The name comes from the late Harold "Red" Grange, a standout professional football player and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, who visited the school in 1931, three years after he was petitioned to run for congress as a Republican and refused. He was nicknamed the Galloping Ghost by sports journalist Warren Brown. Grantland Rice wrote a short poem about Grange after watching him play.A streak of fire, a breath of flame
      Eluding all who reach and clutch;
      A gray ghost thrown into the game
      That rival hands may never touch;
      A rubber bounding, blasting soul
      Whose destination is the goal — Red Grange of Illinois!

      -Grantland RiceGrantland Rice was a known racist whose father was a cotton dealer and grandfather a Confederate Veteran. Prior to Grange's nickname becoming the school's mascot in the 1930s, Abington was represented by "The Maroons". Maroon and white have continued to be the school's colors over the past century.


      School district


      The Abington School District includes eight other schools: the middle school, which serves grades 6 through 8, and seven elementary schools, which are (in order by distance from the senior high): Copper Beech, Highland, Roslyn, Overlook, Willow Hill, Rydal, and McKinley.
      The Abington School District was involved in a legal case relating to mandatory prayer in school, Abington School District v. Schempp, which was heard by the Supreme Court of the United States on February 27–28, 1963. The ruling handed down on June 17, 1963, decided 8–1 in favor of the respondent, Ellery Schempp, and declared school-sponsored Bible reading in public schools to be an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state. The Chief Justice presiding over the case was Earl Warren.


      Honors and distinctions


      The school was recognized as a Blue Ribbon High School in 1998–99 school year. Abington was a National Service Learning Leader School in 1998 and 2001.
      In 2008–2009, Abington won the "Triple Crown" of awards for public school districts in the United States. In 2008, America's Promise Alliance named Abington one of the "100 Best Communities for Young People" for the third year. Shortly thereafter, Money magazine and CNN named Abington as one of the "Top 100 Best Places to Live" in the nation. In its 2009 list of "America's Best High Schools", U.S. News & World Report awarded Abington Senior High School a bronze medal.
      Future President and then-Senator Barack Obama spoke at Abington Senior High School on October 3, 2008.


      Facilities



      The school completed construction of a football stadium in 2006.
      A 1965 graduate of Abington Senior High School, Stephen A. Schwarzman, announced a $25 million donation to the high school on February 15, 2018 which is the highest donation to a public school in history.
      The few conditions under which Stephen A. Schwarzman consented to donate the money for the renovation project were: renaming the school to Abington Schwarzman High School, proudly displaying his portrait in the building, naming parts of the school after his brothers, and holding the right to review construction plans for the school as well as choosing a new school logo. However, there was an immediate uproar from the residents of the district regarding the renaming of the school in Stephen A. Schwarzman's honor and the idea got shut down at the School Board Meeting on April 10, 2018, under the premise that they refuse to allow big money to influence their community. Instead, the original agreement was revised to simply naming the new science and technology center after Stephen A. Schwarzman. This project broke ground on November 2, 2018. The grand re-opening of the additions and renovations to Abington Senior High School and the Stephen A. Schwarzman Center for Science and Technology was commemorated on Friday, August 26, 2022.
