Our Kindergarteners are off to a wonderful first day! They’re making new friends, settling into their classrooms, and already beginning the exciting journey of learning and growing together this year.
There were countless smiles and energetic high-fives this morning! We are happy to report all students have arrived safely and the 2025-2026 school year is officially underway! Let's make it a great one!
Please join us in welcoming the newest member of the Mountaineer family! Look for him at sporting events, in our schools, and throughout the community!
A special thank you to Ryan Rydzewski & Gregg Behr for sharing their blueprint for learning and motivating our staff to embody LRG traits to “Be The E” every day.
Educators are engaged and energized to bring another inspiring school year to students!
It's been a fantastic start to the week with our incredible teachers back in school! This afternoon, we’ll all come together for our official District Opening—the perfect way to kick off a great school year before we welcome students back on Monday.
Congratulations to all of our June School Board Resolution recipients! From impressive athletic accomplishments to academic honors at the state and national levels, it was a pleasure to recognize so many deserving Mountaineers at the final board meeting of the 2024–25 school year.

Our second-graders are using their #EASDLifeReady creativity and collaboration skills to build prototypes of local community business as part of their annual Cornerstone project! Impressive work, Mountaineers!
Our 2nd graders are about to bring local businesses to life through their Cornerstone project prototypes! Today, architect Charlie Yohe inspired them with stories, insights, and the importance of #EASDLifeReady traits. Stay tuned for their creations next month!
A perfect day to learn outside! Today, PA Dept. of Conservation & Natural Resources specialists joined Clay Elementary 4th graders for an outdoor adventure inspired by the novel, "Hatchet." Students used their five senses for observations, tracked animals prints, and learned about fire safety.
During School Social Work Week, join us in thanking these incredible Mountaineers for their important work in our schools and communities!
School Board Resolutions included the recognitions of a variety of student achievements in music, FFA, and more. Additionally, Clay Elementary School principal Dr. Christopher Montagna was honored for recently earning a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. Congrats, Mountaineers!
Last night's School Board meeting was full of highlights! Directors approved full-day Kindergarten for 25-26, celebrated music and athletics achievements, highlighted Ag Mechanics and Student Tutoring, and honored "Be The E" staff. Plus, directors were recognized for School Board Recognition Month.
Our first year in the @inventitforward Invention Convention was a success! Out of 500+ PA entries, THREE EASD teams were named among the top 21 in the STATE! These students will compete on Feb. 12 for a spot in the June National Convention. Congrats & Good Luck, Mountaineers!
We are proud to again be a part of GIANT Feeding School Kids initiative. Since 2021, over $19,000 has been provided to help ensure all EASD students have adequate access to meals. Now – March 31 "round up at the register" to help support this worthy cause!
Nothing but smiles on Mountaineer Pride Fridays!
