The name derives from the Schuylkill River, which flows through the valley where the district is located. GeographySchuylkill Valley is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, near the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. The district lies in the valley created by the Blue Mountain to the north and the Schuylkill River to the south. It encompasses approximately {{convert|53|sqmi|km2}}, including the municipalities of Bern, Centre, and Ontelaunee Townships and the boroughs of Leesport and Centerport. The district is both rural and suburban, including farmland as well as business and light industry. History{{unreferenced section|date=December 2014}}Schuylkill Valley was formed out of Ontelaunee School District in 1958. The old high school and elementary schools in Centre and Bern Township, built in the early 1900s, were kept in use until new facilities were constructed. A new high school was constructed in 1961 and a middle school was built adjacent to the high school in 1975. It wasn't until the mid-1990s that the aging elementary schools were merged into a new building, sharing campus space with the middle and high school. In 2001, an expansion of the high school added an auxiliary gym and expanded musical facilities for band, chorus, and theater programs. In 2008, fifth grade was moved from the elementary school after completion of a middle school expansion project. The renovation also added an auditorium, a new cafeteria, and teaching areas. During the summer of 2010, the high school auditorium underwent renovations with total cost of the project approaching, if not exceeding, $500,000. It included new carpeting, sound booth/room, re-finished stage, new acoustics for the roof, and other additions. In the year of 2017, a new, renovated stadium was constructed from the beginning of the summer of 2017, to the end of October 2017. The project cost approximately 1 million dollars. CampusThe Schuylkill Valley School District campus is located at the intersection of Route 61 and Route 73, {{convert|1|mi|km|adj=on}} south of Leesport and {{convert|6|mi|km}} north of Reading. The district operates three schools, all located on the campus:
