What Cornwall Lebanon School District does

Cornwall-Lebanon School District is a public K-12 school district serving approximately 5,037 students across a 70-square-mile area in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Established in its modern form in 1966 through consolidation of five townships and the Mt. Gretna district, it operates one high school (Cedar Crest High School), one middle school (Cedar Crest Middle School), and four elementary schools (Cornwall, Ebenezer, South Lebanon, and Union Canal), with educational roots dating to 1740. The district's product portfolio includes core K-12 academics, Cedar Crest Cyber (C3) virtual learning across K-12 including special education and elementary tracks, special education services serving 15.35% of students, gifted enrichment, English Language Development for 4.17% of students, and career and technical education through a partnership with Lebanon County CTC's 27 programs. Underlying technology includes Skyward as the student information system, Microsoft 365, Schoology as the learning management system, Edmentum for diagnostic and online learning, and a published AI Use Framework governing Red/Yellow/Green risk-based review of AI tools before classroom integration.

The district is funded primarily through local property taxes, state basic education funding, and federal grants, and has received approximately $6.42M in ARP ESSER relief funds. It is governed by a nine-member elected School Board with Dr. Philip L. Domencic, Ed.D. as Superintendent, and supports roughly 101-250 staff, making it the 7th largest employer in Lebanon County. The district is unique in Pennsylvania for experiencing population growth, and has signaled future expansion through its 2019 purchase of an 89.5-acre farm across from the Cedar Crest campus, the ongoing Cedar Crest campus renovation project, and the launch of multiple Cedar Crest Cyber virtual learning tracks. Dedicated community infrastructure includes the Falcon Foundation (incorporated 2000), proximity to Fort Indiantown Gap (10 miles; 232 military family students served), and partnerships with Lebanon Valley College and Harrisburg Community College. The district's marketing and communications footprint spans an official website, Facebook, X, YouTube live streams of Board meetings, iOS/Android mobile apps, email/SMS emergency notifications, and local radio/TV partnerships.
