Pottsville School District, the fastest growing
school district in Pope County, is a mixture of the small school
personal touch and big school progressiveness. The Board of Education,
administration, faculty, and staff are committed to offering a
comprehensive educational program that is sensitive to the needs of the
students. The district is committed to offering students the
opportunity to achieve academically in an environment conducive to
producing positive self-esteem and self-actualization.
Fully accredited by the
North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, students in the
district consistently score above the state and national averages on
achievement tests. The district is a recognized leader in the use of
technology as an instructional tool and served as the regional site for
technology inservice sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Parents in the district are able to access their child’s grades and
communicate with teachers over the internet using Edline, a service that
allows parents to monitor their child’s progress from home.
In the past four years,
approximately forty thousand square feet of new, modern facilities have
been added within the district. These include new fine arts areas for
drama, instrumental music, vocal music, and art. New instructional areas
for family and consume science and new technology labs have also been
added. In addition, a new football stadium, complete with track/field
facilities was completed in December 2001. These modern facilities,
combined with a well-qualified faculty (50% have Master’s Degrees) work
hand in hand to produce a learning atmosphere that helps students realize
their potential in a positive school climate.
