Pottstown School District

In honor of today's holiday, we debuted Heart Breaker Trojan Man! Trojan Man Jon was busy today spreading love and joy as he delivered 12 chocolate flowers to 12 faculty and staff members, chosen by the Trojan Man! Each staff member also recieved their own copy of "The Adventures of Trojan Man!", personalized and autographed by Trojan Man himself!!!! 

After delivering his gifts, Trojan Man Jon also spent with the Entrepreneurship program who were selling roses and candy in the cafeteria! A great marketing tool Trojan Man is!

To end his day, Trojan Man Jon visited our friends in the Pre-K Counts classroom at the high school for a quick hello during their lunch time!

Making the World a Better Place One Trojan Man at a Time!

Trojan Proud of our Pottstown High School football players who have demonstrated their academic and athletic talents this season. Student athletes were recognized to the All Academic teams of both the EasternPAFootball.com and the PA Football News service. Players must have played in at least 50% of the varsity games and will receive Gold, Sliver or Bronze honors determined by their GPA.

Gold Team: (3.8 or higher), Silver Team: (3.4 to 3.7),Bronze Team: (3.0 to 3.3) Earning the Gold Standard with 4.0 GPA were, Daniel Darden, Dereck Darden, David Hicks, Robert Richards, Jon Oister, Jorge Mundo, Jahzeel Watson, Anthony DiPierto, Jared Hewitt, and Gabriel Hicks. Silver honors went to Cole Miller, Matt Walker, Sensair Wesley, Gary Allan, and Mason Miller. Bronze standard honorees were, Daiwik Phillips and Joneil Oister. Athletics and academics are the proving ground to learn that hard work pays off and leads to success.

For some it's a "safe place to go after school." 

For others, it's visiting a museum, or show outside Pottstown, perhaps for the first time ever. 

For some, it's just someone who says "good job." 

For the past four years, 50 to 60 Pottstown young men have found some or all those things are thanks to a burgeoning mentoring program called Molding Men, run by 2003 graduate Terence Shawell.

HARRISBURG — When Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf talked about charter school reform in his budget address Tuesday, he had two local educators cheering him on. Stephen Rodriguez, superintendent of the Pottstown School District, and Frank Gallagher, superintendent of the Souderton Area School District, were both on hand at the invitation of the governor.  The invitations were no accident. Both superintendents have been on the forefront of the push to reform how charter schools are funded in Pennsylvania.
