Today, the Warren County School District proudly honors the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice have protected the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy each day.
Veterans Day is also an opportunity to teach our students the importance of service, patriotism, respect, and gratitude. We are especially thankful for the veterans within our schools, families, and communities who continue to make a difference long after their military service has ended.
On behalf of the Warren County School District, thank you to all veterans for your service and sacrifice. We are forever grateful.
Happy Veterans Day!

Parents and Guardians,
Parent-Teacher Conference Day is coming up on Wednesday, November 11!
Student report cards were sent home on Monday. Please take some time to review your child’s report card and schedule an appointment to meet with their teachers to discuss academic progress, celebrate successes, and address any areas of concern.
To schedule a conference, please call (814) 757-8878 and speak with Mrs. Emahizer in the Guidance Office.
We are proud and excited to share that the Warren County School District is featured in the October 2026 edition of Business View Magazine in an article titled “A Rural District on the Route to Success.”
There are so many wonderful things happening throughout our district, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share our story with a broader audience!
From innovative STEM programming and expanded career and technical education opportunities to our Virtual Academy, dual enrollment, and community partnerships, we are working every day to provide students with meaningful experiences that prepare them for success beyond graduation.
What makes Warren County special is not simply the programs we offer, but the people who make them possible. Our dedicated teachers, support staff, administrators, school board, families, and local business partners all play an important role in creating opportunities for our students.
As a rural school district, we face unique challenges, but those challenges do not define what our students can accomplish. We are committed to building a district where every student has the opportunity to discover their strengths, pursue their interests, and prepare for a successful future, whether that means college, a skilled trade, military service, or entering the workforce.
We have made significant changes in recent years, and while there is always more work to do, we are excited about the direction we are heading and the opportunities ahead for our students and our community.
We have so much to be proud of right here in Warren County, and we believe our best days are still ahead!
We encourage everyone to take a few minutes to read the article and learn more about the exciting things happening in our schools.

Today is the last day for winter sports registration for athletics.
Joshua joins sixteen (16) other students nominated by their districts within the IU5 to be considered as the selected candidate for the October Northwest C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader $1200.00 scholarship and the potential at earning another $5500.00 at the end of the 2026-2027 school year.
Joshua Pikna is an outstanding candidate for the Northwest PA C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader Award because he consistently demonstrates effort, character, responsibility, citizenship, and positive leadership. A senior and the son of Joseph and Jennifer Pikna, Joshua challenges himself academically while taking on significant leadership roles within his school. His coursework includes AP U.S. Government and Politics, English Honors, Calculus, and The Art of Public Speaking. Last spring, he was recognized as the Chemistry Student of the Year. Joshua particularly enjoys mathematics because it challenges him to innovate, problem-solve, and persevere.
Joshua is an active and influential member of his school community. He serves as vice president of student council, is a member of the senior class executive board, plays basketball, and participates in marching and concert band. As percussion section leader, he is responsible for leading the drumline and front ensemble. Through these roles, Joshua demonstrates dependability, collaboration, respect for others, and a willingness to accept responsibility. His commitment to service extends beyond school. Joshua assisted a friend with an Eagle Scout project at the Youngsville Cemetery, helping clean and reset gravestones. This experience reflects his willingness to give his time to others and contribute positively to his community.
Joshua credits former YHS band teacher Mrs. Cindy Scheid as one of the most influential people in his life. Beginning with percussion in fourth grade, she helped teach him the importance of work ethic, effective leadership, and working well with others. Those lessons are evident in the leader Joshua has become.
Just as notable as Joshua’s accomplishments is the gratitude he shows toward those who have supported him along the way. He is especially appreciative of his parents, Joseph and Jennifer, whom he credits for always being there for him and providing the encouragement and support that have helped him become the person he is today. This appreciation for others speaks to Joshua’s humility and character. His strong work ethic, service to others, leadership, and genuine gratitude make Joshua an excellent representative of his school and a deserving candidate for the Northwest PA C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader Award.
The registration window for Warren County School District winter athletics is open from now through October 23rd.
