Conestoga Valley Senior High School

What Conestoga Valley Senior High School does

Conestoga Valley School District is a Pennsylvania public K-12 district headquartered at 502 Mt. Sidney Road, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, serving approximately 3,738 students across a 56-square-mile district of roughly 33,000 residents. The district operates six campuses: four elementary schools (Brownstown, Fritz, Leola, Smoketown), one middle school (Gerald G. Huesken Middle School), and one high school (Conestoga Valley Senior High School with 1,265 students), plus the Conestoga Valley Virtual Academy (CVVA) offering K-12 online and blended learning. Programs include Advanced Placement and dual enrollment, comprehensive special education, gifted education, English language learner support, and career-technical partnerships with Lancaster CTC and local employers such as the Lancaster Barnstormers and Universal Athletic Club.

The district's core technology infrastructure centers on a 1:1 iPad program with integrated keyboard cases for grades 1-12, interactive whiteboards in core classrooms, the PowerSchool/MyPowerHub student information portal, the Destiny online library catalog, and the eduplanet21-based CV Curriculum Blueprint for standards-aligned curriculum access. CharacterStrong provides district-wide social-emotional learning, and the "Profile of a CV Learner" framework — adopted in 2019 — defines strategic outcomes around innovative problem solving, communication, global citizenship, and collaboration. Dedicated safety infrastructure includes a Director of Safety & Security (hired 2024) and two School Resource Officers.

Conestoga Valley is a government state entity with no revenue-generating business model. It is funded primarily through local property taxes, Pennsylvania state education allocations, and federal grants (Title I, IIA, III, IV, ARP ESSER, McKinney-Vento), with supplemental corporate sponsorship revenue through an exclusive partnership with Market Street Sports Group. Education is free to district residents, with no tuition charged. The affiliated Conestoga Valley Education Foundation (CVEF), an independent nonprofit, has contributed nearly $2 million in cumulative funding for classroom innovation since inception.
