With its torch Illuminated, the flames represent enlightenment, tolerance, and hope imparted by the institution’s drive to spark coherent and ongoing enrichment. The unwavering flame starts small but grows as the learning never stops. The grasping hand shows that within reach are vast resources and connectivity provided by our core foundation in cyber education. The shield represents strength and longevity, and the symmetrical line upon it draws equal balance to tradition and endless possibilities. The Latin phrase “libertas aditum” means access to freedom. Since 2000, the school’s students have been free to choose how they learn best. Olive branches flank the shield signifying our school, which was born of necessity and openly embraces diverse students from every county and every school district within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Deep navy blue stands as the seal’s primary color, characterizing the school’s strength and reliability. Gold, black, platinum, and bronze represent the precious elements of wisdom, tradition, truth, and determination. A Message to the PA Cyber Class of 2021 From Brian Hayden, Chief Executive Officer

Dear Class of 2021,

Today we celebrate so much of what is good in life. We are celebrating your graduation from high school. We are celebrating the support of family, friends, and the people of PA Cyber who have worked with you to ensure you could graduate. We are celebrating navigating our way—as individuals and as a school—past the uncertainties and challenges of the pandemic. We are celebrating your ability to adapt and persevere throughout the past fifteen months so that for each of you “the learning never stopped.”

For the past two decades, students and families like you have made PA Cyber the very special school that it has become. As we celebrate our twentieth anniversary, it is important to recognize that this success is the collective history of everybody who has been a part of PA Cyber since we first opened our doors in 2000. And you have become a part of that history.

To you and your families, I wish nothing but the best as you begin the next stage of your lives. Thank you for helping us maintain the tradition of excellence that each of you exemplifies, especially under the most unusual of circumstances.

Stay safe and be well.
