Congratulations to the Class of 2025 Valedictorian, Annie Cernuska, and Salutatorian, Allison Nicholls! They will both be speaking at the Graduation Ceremony on June 7th.

We are pleased to share that there was so much excitement around international travel this past fall, we are now ready to share our 2026 Bellefonte Travel Program destinations. Your 8th-11th grader is invited to join us on one of our upcoming educational travel experiences to the Dominican Republic or Japan for Summer 2026! When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and I would love to have your student join us on one of these adventures. Come hear all the details, including the itinerary, activities, academic opportunities, and the cost of our trip at our travel info night on Wednesday, September 18th at 6:30pm in The Bellefonte High School Theatre.   Please click here to register for the meeting ASAP to save your seat https://rsvp.eftours.com/ak6gypg There are limited spots on these trips, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!

The Council for Art Education administers Youth Art Month. Youth Art Month encourages support for quality school art programs and promotes art material safety. The program provides a medium for recognizing skills developed through visual arts experiences unlike any other curriculum subjects, including problem-solving, creativity, observation, and communication. There are over 300 students' artworks exhibited in this virtual exhibition and we feel so good about the work chosen to represent Bellefonte!
