Superintendent's Message

Towanda Area School District is committed to ensuring that each student has an outstanding educational and social-emotional experience.  We do so with the support of our families and our community.  Working together allows our students and staff to flourish.  These achievements are shown not only in academics, but in our students' artistic ability, musical talents, and athletic accomplishments.  Our schools are incredibly fortunate to have a fantastic team of dedicated educators and support staff who bring their passion and expertise to our classrooms every single day! 

News & Announcements

With Great Sadness

It is with profound sadness that we were notified that four members of the Towanda Area School District community were involved in a vehicle accident at the end of the school day today April 29th. The Pennsylvania State Police have confirmed that two of our students were transported to the hospital, and tragically, another student and the driver did not survive the accident.

The loss of any life is absolutely heartbreaking, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families, friends, teachers, and colleagues of the individuals involved.

As students come to school tomorrow, grief counseling services will be available to students and staff at each building of our school district to support our students through this period of sadness.

Towanda Elementary Morning Drop-off Change

Effective Wednesday, March 26th, morning parent drop-off at the elementary school will become a one-way street. Parents will enter from Mill Street, drop students off on the East side of Towanda Elementary School then proceed to the stop sign at the “top” of the lot and exit, turning right onto State Street. From there you may continue up State Street or turn left onto Convent Avenue and left again onto Poplar Street to head back into town. Performing a U-turn in the parking lot to exit back onto Mill Street will no longer be an option. Cones, signs, and staff members will be present to assist with this transition. We appreciate your help with improving the drop-off process.
