The district calendar for 2025-2026 will be posted soon on our website; however, the state is still contemplating changes to the school calendars, so we may have to revise ours to follow the new guidelines once their decision has been made.
The Pottsville School District storm shelters at the jr high and high school will be open if there is a tornado warning issued later tonight. Unfortunately at this time the elementary safe room is still without electricity and unavailable at this time.
ALL Pottsville Schools will dismiss 2 hours early due to incoming storms and lack of power at two safe rooms.
Pottsville School District is proud to introduce our new Superintendent, Mr. Shane Thurman, effective July 1! 🎉
With 31 years in education, Mr. Thurman brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to student success. He began his career teaching social studies for 17 years and has coached basketball, golf, cross country, tennis, baseball, and track. His leadership journey includes 8 years as an assistant principal, 4 years as a principal, and 2 years as an assistant superintendent within Pottsville School District.
We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Thurman to this new role and look forward to his leadership in continuing Pottsville’s tradition of excellence! Join us in congratulating him! 🎉📚🏫
