We are #ASDProud that Abington Senior High School was again designated as a "No Place for Hate" school by the Anti-Defamation League for the 2023-2024 school year. This year, the ADL trained a group of students at the high school, as well as teachers Ms. Sandler Ligi and Ms. Katz, to be Anti-Bias Peer Trainers. These students have now become the school's No Place for Hate Committee, and are already planning events for next year, including turn-around training for a new batch of student leaders!

As today commemorates the 80th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944, we remember those who fought and sacrificed their lives for our country. On this day, we take a moment to memorialize the former students of Abington Senior High School who gave their lives that day and throughout World War II.
