Mission Statement
The Penns Manor Area School District is in a rural setting and serves a diverse population as our community's education agent. The district will provide a program of academic skills, career exploration, life skills, and social responsibility considering individual needs in order to develop cooperative, creative, and productive citizens in an ever changing society.
Belief Statement
We believe that the diverse educational needs of all students can be met. The family is central to a child's learning. Students, parents, school personnel, and the community contribute to and benefit from student learning. The skilled use of current technology is integral to student learning. All students can be productive members of society.
