History
Prior to 2000, there was one middle school in State College called State College Middle School (or State College Junior High). Their Science Olympiad team did very well, winning first place at the state tournament from 1994 to 1999 and constantly placing in the top 3 at nationals. Their coach is a current science teacher at Mount Nittany.
When State College Middle School split into two schools, the old building was turned into Park Forest Middle School and a new building was built for Mount Nittany. A new Science Olympiad team eventually started up again under a different coach.
Etymology
Mount Nittany Middle School is named after the nearby mountain, Mount Nittany.
