Tydus Chase, son of Adam and Jennifer Chase, exemplifies the qualities of a Northwest PA C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader through his character, dedication, and service to both school and community. A senior at Eisenhower, Tydus is known for his integrity, humility, and strong sense of purpose. He demonstrates exceptional effort in all he pursues—balancing a rigorous academic schedule that includes Honors English Language Arts, Pre-Calculus, Public Speaking, and Organic/Inorganic Chemistry—with extensive involvement in extracurricular and community leadership roles.
Tydus’s commitment to excellence is evident in his many accomplishments. He was recognized as the Top Science Student during his junior year, is a three-year academic letter recipient, and serves as Concertmaster of the Chautauqua Youth Symphony. He also performs with the Warren Philharmonic Orchestra, where his musicianship and leadership shine. His character is reflected in his respectful and encouraging interactions with peers, teachers, and mentors, always modeling responsibility and optimism.
Beyond academics, Tydus embodies good citizenship. He serves on the Youngsville Borough Junior Council, giving a student voice to local decision-making, and participates in National Honor Society, Student Council, Envirothon, TEAMS, Journalism, and Academic Bowl. He works part-time at the Valley Bowling Center and maintains the grounds at Garland Presbyterian Cemetery, showing maturity, dependability, and a strong work ethic. Tydus’s compassion and perseverance inspire those around him. He credits his private violin instructor, Bryan Eckenrode, for inspiring his growth as both a musician and a person, particularly through “strategic clarity and storytelling.” Guided by his favorite quote— “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently,” by Henry Ford—Tydus approaches every challenge with resilience and grace.
Tydus Chase represents the very best of Eisenhower Middle Senior High School. His dedication, character, and leadership make him a truly deserving candidate for the Northwest PA C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader recognition.
Attention Eisenhower Knights Families: Important scheduling information for the 2026/2027 school year!
We would like to give a huge thank you to our school counselors for all they do for our students, families, and staff. Your guidance, support, and care make a difference every single day!
January has been an exciting and meaningful month across our schools, filled with learning, celebration, and community connection. Students showcased their skills and determination through events such as a math competition and school spelling bees, while others were recognized for their achievements as Students of the Month. Classrooms were buzzing with engagement as students used hands-on manipulatives in math and participated in enriching learning experiences.
Our schools also embraced the season with holiday concerts featuring choir, band, and orchestra performances, along with school spirit activities, classroom celebrations, holiday festivities, and a winter carnival that brought joy to students and staff alike. Beyond the classroom, students gained valuable insight into the real world as a local company visited to speak about entrepreneurship, and Career Center students participated in impactful experiences—from hands-on construction work at a local business, to continuing education with UPMC EMS Outreach, to leading a Santa Tree program that provided gifts to families in need.
In addition, students demonstrated leadership and service by participating in an All-County HEAL Club community event, and we proudly celebrated one of our educators who was selected as a Golden Apple Award winner. These moments reflect the hard work, creativity, and compassion that define our school community.
Be sure to check out the attached document for highlights from each of our schools. We are incredibly proud of our students, staff, and families for making January such a positive start to the new year!

Parents and Guardians,
Weather conditions are expected to change overnight, and tomorrow morning will be extremely cold. Warren County School District follows the National Weather Service Wind Chill Chart and will be monitoring conditions early in the morning to determine if a delay or closure is necessary.
At this time, forecasts indicate we will be right on the edge of the first wind chill zone—meaning it will be very cold, but not quite within the 30-minute frostbite threshold.
Please ensure your children are dressed appropriately for the weather, especially those waiting at bus stops or walking to school. In addition to warm winter clothing, it is strongly recommended that students wear gloves and a hat.
You can view the National Weather Service Wind Chill Chart here:

We appreciate your cooperation and will communicate promptly if conditions change.
Stay warm and safe.

Over the coming weeks, students will begin the scheduling process for the upcoming school year, starting with class meetings at school.
- Middle school students will have the opportunity to rank their preferred elective courses.
- High school students will complete course request sheets to indicate their course selections.
