A Message from the Superintendent
 

Dear Visitor,

 

On behalf of the entire East Lycoming Community, please allow me to welcome you to the East Lycoming School District.  The East Lycoming School District has a long-standing reputation of providing exceptional academic, athletic, art, music and technology programs that prepare our students to face the challenges of the 21st century. We take great pride in our students’ accomplishments on state assessments, the athletic field, in our classrooms and on our stages. This success would not be possible without the limitless support of the East Lycoming School Board, parents, community and the staff of the East Lycoming School District. The entire community does indeed believe in our core values of Spartan P.R.I.D.E.: Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Excellence.
 
Whether you are a parent, grandparent or new to our area, I invite you to visit our campus.  On our campus you will discover state of the art facilities and a caring, compassionate atmosphere.  You may also discover our solar field and wind turbine, which provides approximately fifty percent of the electricity required to run our Junior/Senior High School.  Your next step may be to visit our Chinese Willow biomass production field where we harvest our own biofuel to burn in our biomass furnace.  Finally, I highly recommend that you spend time with the one element that makes us stand above the rest, our staff.  The entire staff of the East Lycoming School District truly cares about the children that are placed in our charge and the responsibility to educate them that is given to us. 
 

The 2012-2013 school year contains many exciting plans for our students and the East Lycoming Community. We have increased the rigor of our high school curriculum by offering additional Advanced Placement courses and by increasing our graduation requirements. A new digital video production studio will allow our students to create, produce and broadcast their own digital content using streaming video over the internet. The Ashkar Elementary School will be upgraded with new energy-efficient lighting that will also create an environment more comfortable for learning, continue our proud “green” tradition and reduce electricity consumption. We are establishing the “Spartan Foundation” which will facilitate the implementation of innovative educational practices and assist with the creation of additional student scholarships. None of these things would be possible without the support of our community.

 

Continuing our tradition of excellence is one of our primary goals. Thank you for your support in reaching this goal.

 

 

Michael D. Pawlik
