  • Community --- Honor --- Service
    CARLISLE HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER 2019 Dear Parents/Guardians, We had a smooth start to the 2019-2020 school and it is hard to believe we are halfway through the second marking period. We are in the midst of the holiday season, so we anticipate the students being busy and active amongst our school community. As always, there are many programs and events that help enable students to transition back to school and allow for a productive first semester. Starting with the 9th Grade Kick-Off, Jump Start, Athletic Events, Coffeehouse (First Cup), Marching Band Performances, our Fall Music Event (which showcases our talented musicians / singers), and Homecoming (over 1,000 students attended). Along with the many events that help with transition, we as an administrative staff meet with each class at CHS to review expectations and highlight ways to build a positive school culture/climate. The school seal has been slowly re-introduced at CHS, which incorporates our motto “Be Just and Fear Not”. With the re-introduction of the seal, we have also incorporated core values, and have asked all students to embrace and use as guiding principles with their academics and personal lives. The core values are part of bulletin boards and other displays around the high school complex. Community --- Honor --- Service As the school year progresses, we will do our best to keep you informed about school-related activities, issues, student academic performances and achievements through: newsletters from Carlisle High School newsletters from the Guidance Office report cards (every nine weeks) progress reports (middle of each marking period) the school newspaper – Periscope updated postings on the District Website electronic messages through our School Messenger System Take Care and Happy Holidays, Michael Black Principal – Carlisle High School 1 IMPORTANT PHONE NUMBERS Swartz Building Mr.

  • The Pennsylvania Basic Education/Higher Education Science and Technology Partnership
    The Pennsylvania Basic Education/Higher Education Science and Technology Partnership 2011-2012 Annual Service Report Executive Summary The year 2011 brought financial hardship for Science In Motion (SIM) in its role as the premier high school science education outreach program for the Commonwealth. Once again, Pennsylvania’s current economic status resulted in budget reductions and funding delays, which forced many of the SIM Consortium sites to reduce service areas or delay service to schools for several months. Despite the Commonwealth’s economic hardships, Science In Motion sustained bipartisan support by members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Faced with an overall 10% cut to an award that had been cut by 63% the previous fiscal year, Science In Motion was still able to provide hands-on inquiry-based experiences to the schools we serve. All Science In Motion sites eventually opened and resumed service to their schools, despite the financial challenges. As a whole, the average number of months of operation for SIM sites was 8.3 this school year; however the majority were open less than 8 months. Our science education specialists (mobile educators) from the twelve colleges and universities presented over 3,078 hands-on laboratory experiences to 312 different schools. The program also provided an additional 8,256 drop-off laboratory kits for short term loan and offered 28 days of professional development workshop opportunities for teachers. Overall, Science In Motion provided 713 different teachers with 1,050 different labs creating 208,328 student experiences during the 2011- 2012 school year. What is Science In Motion? Most Pennsylvania high schools cannot afford the modern, well-maintained equipment that it takes to prepare students for today’s hi-tech careers in science, engineering and other technical fields.

  • 2018-2019 Annual Service Report the Pennsylvania Basic Education
    2018-2019 Annual Service Report The Pennsylvania Basic Education/Higher Education Science and Technology Partnership Executive Summary The Science In Motion program sustained bipartisan support by members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly and was inserted back into the 2018-2019 state budget after recommendation of elimination by the Governor. Science In Motion (SIM) program hosts are very eager to be able to provide hands-on, inquiry-based experiences to the participating schools in their role as the premier high school science education outreach program for the Commonwealth. Financial hardship of program funding over the past several years has forced many of the SIM host sites to reduce service area size, delay service to schools for several months, or completely stop service before the end of the school year. Of the sites that had science education specialists (mobile educators) from the ten-member colleges and universities, Science In Motion staff members presented over 1,460 hands-on laboratory experiences to 282 different schools. The program also provided an additional 6,585 drop-off laboratory kits for short term loan and offered 20 days of professional development workshop opportunities consortium-wide for over 200 teachers. Overall, Science In Motion provided 642 different teachers with 751 different labs creating 182,229 student experiences during the 2018-2019 school year. What is Science In Motion? Most Pennsylvania high schools cannot afford the modern, well-maintained equipment that it takes to prepare students for today’s modern technological careers in science, engineering and other technical fields. Modern scientific training is especially expensive as it requires multiple sets of equipment so that each student can get a hands-on, inquiry-based experience.

  • Community Facilities and Service Background
    Community Facilities Background Information A wide variety of community facilities and services are provided to Cumberland County residents. These facilities and services often define the character of a community and quality of life enjoyed by the residents. Factors influencing the need for these services are dependent on the development patterns, population, and financial resources to support them. Introduction The purpose of this chapter is to describe existing community facilities provided within the County. This chapter describes the existing characteristics and functional adequacy of these facilities. The quality, quantity and availability of these facilities reflect the general character of the County as a place to live. Educational Facilities Cumberland County is served by public and private primary and secondary educational facilities, and state and private higher education facilities. In addition to identifying the location of these facilities, the following discussion will provide characteristics of the public school districts, their service area, and enrollment trends. Public Elementary and Secondary Education Local government plays an important role with public educational facilities. The public is dependent on the municipalities and the educational systems ability to work together to continually assess the effect of growth patterns on the adequacy of the educational system. The effects of declining or increasing school age populations may have a dramatic impact on the provision of services and capacity of existing facilities. Nine (9) school districts serve Cumberland County (Figure 13.1). In 1987 a survey of the Cumberland County School Districts, conducted by Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, provided descriptive information regarding the status of these districts at that time.

We received the largest contribution in our 80-year history and in doing so, demonstrated a new level of maturity and sophistication in designing solutions for a donor’s needs. The transaction included a series of charitable lead and remainder trusts as more fully set forth elsewhere in this report. We marvel that the amount involved – $2.7 million – was equal to almost one half of what our total assets were less than six years ago. Total new contributions to the Foundation amounted to $3.4 million; combined with the $3.3 million in new split interest trust funds, we received a total of $6.7 million in new assets during the year. The Whitaker Foundation, a leading national foundation in bio-medical engineering, designated us to be the administrator of their Harrisburg Area Regional Grant Program in the areas of math and science curriculum change and economic self-sufficiency.
