Did you know? The estimated tax impact for a new Middle School will not happen all at once. If the referendum is approved by voters on May 20, property taxes will gradually increase over the duration of the project as bonds are issued, ultimately reaching the estimated $54 per month on a median homestead in the district by 2029 or 2030.

On April 24, Abington Senior High School opened a new pop-up educational art installation for students and staff, timed to Holocaust Remembrance Day. The exhibit, which was curated by teachers of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity course, in partnership with the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center in Elkins Park, includes five artworks about the Auschwitz experience, all created by Frank Root, the spouse of a survivor.
The art pieces are static, but each one has a QR code for students to explore the topic and event related in the work. Social studies classes throughout the school visit the exhibit one at a time, where the teachers lead a discussion about the pieces.

Abington Middle School was not designed for middle school education. A building layout that is difficult to navigate, and outdated classrooms and insufficient space, are obstacles to providing the personalized learning opportunities and modern education we strive for.
