This says "Meade School" at lower left. It's the Meade High School in Gettysburg, which opened in 1897. I don't know if it's still in use.

This building is certainly still there, as this Google maps aerial view shows at the intersection of Springs Aveneu and Buford Avenue:

Meade School was named to honor General George Gordon Meade who directed the Union army in one of its greatest battles, defeating Confederate General Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg.
The former school building has recently been used as a day care facility. – Meade School of Gettysburg
The monument at the left of the photograph (above) is the 26th Pennsylvania Emergency Infantry Monument. A monument to General Meade is located at the nearby battlefield:

The building is most definitely still there. Here is a recent (March 30, 2011) photograph of the opposite side of the building.
