***** Teacher Helpful Hints**** I typed in your address and the Clearfield High School address into mapquest.com, and just have a few littlecomments to add, because going through Philipsburg is a little weird if you've never been there, and our high school address is 2831 Washington Ave, Clearfield, PA 16830, but there will be no road sign saying Washington Ave. Here are the last few miles once you get intoPhilipsburg:
If you are not familiar with Philipsburg, when you come down the hill into the town, at the first light you are basically going straight, but you have to curve out around a small circle to the right. Follow the signs for 322 W. Don't bother with street names. Just follow 322 West. You'll go straight through the town, past a Sheetz on the right, and a McDonalds on the left.
Then you'll have 14 miles on 322W. When you see a small mall/shopping plaza on the right with a Peebles store and JC Penneys, look for a sign for 879 West/Clearfield/Shawville Highway. I never come in from that direction to know which way you turn off of 322, butit's right by the mall. If you end up heading toward I-80, you went the wrong way on 879. Follow 879 West up a hill, and down the other side. At the bottom of the hill, you will come to a stop light with a river and bridge in front of you. Cross the bridge/river and follow that road about 1 mile, past 2 cemeteries on the right. After the second cemetery, you will go another 200-300 yards or so, and then you should notice the small sign for our high school standing up on the right. Bear right and drive up the hill. (You will not see the school at all from the main road until you get to the top of the lane.)
Good luck finding a parking space.Walk to the front doors at thecenter of the oval driveway and go to thedoor with the buzzer - the secretary will let you in and call the teacher.
