The Olney Charter High School, formerly the Aspira Charter School at Olney, and Olney High School, is a public high school that is located in the Olney section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Previously part of the School District of Philadelphia, it was originally split into two schools [Olney East and Olney West ] before becoming a singular charter high school in 2011; however, it reverted to a public high school beginning with the 2022-2023 school year.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

History and architectural features

The original historic building was designed by Irwin T. Catharine and was built between 1929 and 1930. It is a five-story brick building that sits on a granite base with a five-story tower. Designed in the Late Gothic Revival style, it features Gothic arched openings and limestone details.
