What Susquehanna Township School District does

Susquehanna Township School District is a public K-12 school district serving approximately 3,178 students across Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, near Harrisburg. The district operates five campuses — Sara Lindemuth/Anna Carter Primary School, Thomas W. Holtzman Jr. Elementary School, Susquehanna Township Middle School (grades 6-8), Susquehanna Township High School (grades 9-12), and a district administration building — under the governance of a nine-member elected Board of School Directors. It is recognized externally as the #1 Most Diverse School District in America (Niche) and the 5th most equitable school district in Pennsylvania (PennLive), with 28 languages spoken across the student and staff population. As a government entity with no private ownership, it provides K-12 education with no resident tuition; all students also receive free breakfast and lunch.

The district's core educational offering is a comprehensive K-12 curriculum in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies, supplemented by specialized programs including HANNA Virtual Solutions for online learning, Special Education services with IEP and behavioral support, English Language Learner (ELL) programs, dual enrollment college credit, and Career and Technical Education pathways. Technology infrastructure is anchored on Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams with a 1:1 device program for students; the student information system is Infinite Campus, which also powers online registration. Performance management is structured around the Journey of HOPE framework, an internal initiative derived from the Malcolm Baldrige Framework for Performance Excellence, alongside a seven-category DEI framework covering mental health, disabilities, LGBT and gender, race and marginalized groups, student voice, and international/immigration. The district was featured in a Microsoft case study for technology adoption in its ARA Program.

Revenue is derived entirely from public funding — Pennsylvania state education subsidies, local property taxes, and federal grants — rather than tuition. The district has 517 staff listed across its directory and a documented strategic plan for 2024-2027 focused on Teaching & Learning, Financial Stability, and Team Member Engagement, with public targets including 75% of K-8 learners exceeding average MAP assessment growth by June 2027. The district received a $4.1 million Schools-to-Work grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry in March 2026 to fund career-pathway programs. Operating partnerships include Microsoft, Kelly Education (substitute staffing), Krise Transportation (bus services), Communities In Schools (dropout prevention), the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General's Safe2Say Something program, and the HANNA Foundation, which supports the HANNA's Pantry food assistance program reaching 33% of students and families.
