Ellen Johnson, President	Sarah Dayes

Paula Gilbert, Secretary	Shane Moore
Edward Bird, Treasurer	Carrie McCullough
Anika Jackson

Do you know someone whose child will start kindergarten or a positive change is needed? We're accepting applications for the 2024-25 school year from tomorrow (2/1) through March 31. I’m proud of the many ways we do things differently at the York Academy, and I encourage you to tell your friends and family why we're the best school in town! Get the details.

In addition, through the Future Ready Comprehensive Planning Process, a strategic plan and four state reports are required every three years for schools in PA. Stakeholders may provide feedback. Learn more below.

Enjoy the evening,

Dr. Lowe

Comprehensive Plan & State Reports Available for Review

A Comprehensive Plan for 2024-2027 has been developed for our school as a result of outreach from a year-long committee.

As a stakeholder, you are asked to review the Comprehensive Plan and state-required reports that have been drafted. Read them here. The mission, vision, values, goals, and action steps will drive organizational change.

You may provide feedback to impact the details of the plan, as it is finalized and implemented. Please respond to this Google Form before February 28, 2024. Thank you for your commitment to our school.
