GREAT SCHOOLS PA AWARD
At this past Wednesday’s School Board of Directors Meeting, Palisades School District was honored by the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) as a Great Pennsylvania School. This honor recognizes schools that demonstrate a commitment to academic rigor, community, resilience and financial health. PSBA recognizes that our students are both successful and challenged by the district’s curriculum, which drives student engagement. Innovative school programming, plus honors and awards celebrating student success, foster a sense of belonging and connection to the school community. Also our robust extracurricular activities help our students develop as well rounded individuals.
The Senior Director of Outreach for PSBA, Becky Dussinger, applauded our district for “demonstrating the importance of caring for students holistically through emergency preparedness and mental health support. While offering these many benefits for students, you remain grounded in financial health through budget development, financial audits and compliance in bid requirements.”
This achievement is truly a great opportunity to share our success in education with our community!
