Langley was named in honor of Samuel Pierpont Langley, well known for his contributions in the fields of aviation, science, and astronomy, and the first director of the Allegheny Observatory. Langley, originally built to accommodate 1500 students, was the first school in Pittsburgh that had a new science department, a public address system, and a modernized home economics kitchen. The school is located in the Sheraden neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
