Athletic Update


The Winter sports season is concluding with our Wrestling, Swim and Basketball teams all competing in the PIAA State Playoffs. Please be sure to check the athletic website for any postponements due to inclement weather. The athletic field expansion is still in progress, and the turf fields will be completed for the Spring season except for the softball field. The buildings are still an active construction site, and they will re-open once it is safe to do so. A huge congratulations to our Boys and Girls Basketball teams for winning the Central League Championships. For Spring sports, please make sure all pick up and drop off take place in the lots provided. The police have asked that drop offs should not take place on public roads.
