Superintendent's Message

Since my decision in 2001 to come to Jim Thorpe, and my start date of July 3, 2001, as your superintendent of schools, I have felt most welcomed to the Jim Thorpe Area School District. Now, it is my privilege on the behalf of the school district and the Board of Education to welcome you. As the new school year begins, I hope you and your children discover together the joys of learning, and in particular, take advantages of the many opportunities the Jim Thorpe Area School District affords our students both in the academic area and in extracurricular activities.

The Jim Thorpe Area School District enjoys an outstanding reputation as one of the finest public school systems in the nation. Additionally, we are standards drive, meaning your children will learn from the most current curriculum and methodologies available, and meet quality benchmarks that have been established by recognized national and state entities. We are excited about our exemplary programs at JTASD, and invite you to come into our schools, volunteer or just visit.
