The Greensboro Public School is located in the town of Greensboro in Greene County, Pennsylvania. The  2 1⁄2-story seven-bay school was built in 1904 by James Parreco in the Richardsonian Romanesque style.

Students in grades 1-8 attended the school until about 1960, when the building was donated by the school district to the town. By 1976 the building was turned over to the MONON Center to be used as a local history museum and community center focused on regional craft and art.

It was added to National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 1995. A log cabin the Baltzer Kramer House was moved to the property about 1976, but is not included in the historical site.[2]
