Oakdale, PA — Oakdale resident Theresa Brandl, 105, has always regretted never graduating from high school. She attended Stowe Township High School but dropped out before graduating in order to help care for her family.
Stowe Township High merged with McKees Rocks High School in 1996 to form Sto-Rox High School.
