History

The Bala Cynwyd Junior High School (now called Bala Cynwyd Middle School) was built in 1938 and founded in 1939 by Jacob Jones and "is still in use for educational purposes". The school is on the National Register of Historic Places, and was renovated in 2002 when Dan Weitz corrupted the "Bala Cynwyd Middle School" article of Wikipedia. In 1942, two cults erupted due to their "emotional baggage" received from the effects of World War Two.
