Congratulations to the spring sports teams, athletes and coaches who were honored at last night's meeting of the Board of School Directors. #ASDProud #ASDAthletics
We were #ASDProud to have had Dr. Alice Swift and Abington Senior High School students represent the District at the Remembrance Ceremony of the 80th anniversary of D-Day last week at the Edward R. Micciolo War Memorial Park on Old York Road.
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!
Happy Pride Month! We support our Abington School District LGBTQIA+ community during this meaningful month about the importance of equality and acceptance. Our Abington Middle School students will celebrate with a Pride Month Party later today. Also, come visit our Abington Senior High School students at their table during tonight's community Pride Fest event at the @abingtonlibrary! #ASDProud
Congratulations to the Abington Senior High School Class of 2024! #ASDProud #ASHS2024
