An incident was reported to the district that there was a vaguely made threat by email late last night. This threat is still being investigated, but we believe that all students in our care are safe. Out of an abundance of caution, all students in the middle/high school went through the metal detectors and bags were searched. Students were very patient and cooperative during this process. The school district would like to thank everyone for their cooperation and support.
Congratulations to our students who placed at State Chorus:
Rowan Peterson - 2nd chair All State!!
Wilmar Lewis - 1st alternate All State!!
Reagan Hess - 2nd alternate All State!!
Congratulations to Callie Hess on her win yesterday at the PIAA State Wrestling Tournament! We wish her well on her quarterfinal match today!
There were rumors of a possible threat to the school tomorrow but after a police investigation, those threats were deemed noncredible. The individual involved will not be in school tomorrow. We would like to thank the individuals who brought it to the administrations attention so this situation could be handled quickly and without incident.
The federal government is trying to expand internet access to everyone in the country with a program called Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD). In order to help gather information, residents from Columbia, Montour, Snyder, Union and Northumberland Counties are asked to complete an Internet speed test from their residence. The results of these tests are being collected by Drive to help determine where broadband access is under or unserved. You can complete the speed test at: https://driveindustry.com/speedtest/
