Consolidated modern elementaries
Davis, McDonald, and Willow Dale are large, updated K–5 campuses — the product of a deliberate consolidation that concentrated resources into fewer, better buildings.
Warminster & Southampton’s District
Centennial School District
Three communities, six schools, and one William Tennent High — a consolidated district built around big, modern elementary campuses.
Centennial School District serves three neighboring municipalities — Warminster Township, Upper Southampton Township, and the small borough of Ivyland — in the county’s southwestern corner. Like Bristol Township, Centennial bet on consolidation: three large elementary schools (Davis, McDonald, and Willow Dale) replaced a generation of smaller neighborhood buildings, feeding Log College and Klinger middle schools and William Tennent High School.
Tennent is the name people know. The high school carries the identity of all three communities — the Panthers draw from Warminster’s postwar neighborhoods and Southampton’s leafy cul-de-sacs alike — and its namesake reaches back to the original Log College, the 18th-century Presbyterian academy that gave the middle school its name and the region a claim as a cradle of American higher education.
