South Williamsport Area High School

What South Williamsport Area High School does

South Williamsport Area School District (SWASD) is a public K-12 school district organized under Pennsylvania law, serving more than 1,100 students across four municipalities — Armstrong Township, Duboistown Borough, South Williamsport Borough, and Susquehanna Township — in Lycoming County. The district operates four schools: Central Elementary (K-4), Rommelt Elementary (5-6), South Williamsport Jr-Sr High School (6-12), and Mountie Academy (online K-12). Instruction is delivered by a team of 80+ educators with supplementary special education, counseling, nursing, food service, transportation, and facilities staff, governed by a nine-member elected Board of Directors and led by Superintendent Dr. Eric Briggs.

The district's operating technology stack centers on PowerSchool/Synergy as the Student Information System (with PowerTeacher gradebook and PowerSchool forms), ParentSquare as the unified two-way communication platform with translation and attendance alerts, ClassLink for single sign-on, SchoolCafe for meal payments, CSIU Financial Information System for back-office operations, and XtraMath plus McGraw Hill curriculum tools. In February 2026 the district joined CurvePoint's Founder's Circle to deploy the Wi-AI Perimeter Threat Detection system across campus entry points, layering AI-driven anomaly detection onto existing video monitoring and controlled-access infrastructure. Safety operations also include keyless door locks, visitor screening, and dedicated school-police presence.

SWASD is funded primarily through Pennsylvania basic education subsidy, local real estate taxes collected by Keystone Collections Group (Armstrong, Duboistown, South Williamsport) and Yvonne Markle (Susquehanna Township), plus federal Title I and special education allocations. Secondary revenue includes facility-use fees from community groups and minor a la carte food sales; meals are universally free under the Community Eligibility Provision, operated by The Nutrition Group. Auxiliary revenue streams include substitute-teacher and paraprofessional labor-rate disbursements ($125/day certified subs; $17.74/hour paraprofessionals). Enrollment is geographically captive within district boundaries, with Mountie Academy serving as the only voluntary out-of-area channel.
