Schuylkill Valley School District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Schuylkill Valley School District is located in northern Berks County in southeastern Pennsylvania in the United States, the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. The district lies in the valley created by the Blue Mountains to the north and the Schuylkill River to the south. It encompasses approximately 53 square miles, including the municipalities of Bern, Centre, and Ontelaunee Townships and the boroughs of Leesport and Centerport. The district is both rural and suburban, including farmland as well as business and light industry.
The Schuylkill Valley School District campus is located at the intersection of Pennsylvania State Routes 61 and 73, 1 mile south of Leesport and 6 miles north of Reading. Approximately 10 administrators, 140 teachers, and 92 support personnel serve a student enrollment of approximately 1,900. The superintendent of schools is Dr. Solomon Lausch.
The district is comprised of three schools, all located on the campus:
- Schuylkill Valley High School, serving grades 9-12
- Schuylkill Valley Middle School, serving grades 6-8
- Schuylkill Valley Elementary School, serving grades K-5
The middle school will add grade 5 when reconstruction is completed
The school's mascot is the Panther, and the school's colors are red and black.
The name derives from the Schuylkill River, which flows through the valley where the district is located.
