US News & World Report recently released their rankings of best middle schools nationwide. We are beyond thrilled to share with you that among 2,134 middle schools in Pennsylvania, Springton Lake was ranked #32! This is a testament to our awesome students, our incredible staff, and the support that we receive from the community and school district! Everyone affiliated with our school should feel a great deal of pride regarding this news!

As you may know, one of our very own faculty members, Mrs. Sharon Williams, is one of TWELVE finalists for the 2024 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Williams is an 8th grade Language Arts teacher on Team Endeavor. Mrs. Williams was initially nominated by one of her former students. Following the nomination, she has progressed through a rigorous evaluation and screening process that has spanned the last year. On Monday, the Pennsylvania Department of Education will announce this year's winner during a ceremony being held in Hershey, PA. We are so proud of Mrs. Williams and feel so fortunate to have her as a member of our Springton Lake team. Good luck, Mrs. Williams.

You can watch the livestream of the announcement HERE between 12:15 PM to 1:00 PM.

We are excited to welcome you to The Lake for our upcoming winter concerts. Our students and teachers have been working hard to prepare for these performances. We are sure that their efforts will put you in a festive mood for the holiday season!
