The Pennridge School District has once again been
recognized by the Pennsylvania Art Education
Association as an Outstanding Visual Arts
Community, celebrating the district’s commitment
to high-quality visual arts education for students in
all grades.
This recognition reflects the strength of Pennridge’s
K–12 art program and the dedicated teachers who
help students think creatively, solve problems,
collaborate, and express their individual voices.
Across all 11 schools, visual arts education gives
students the opportunity to explore ideas, build
confidence, and develop skills that support success
in school, future careers, and community life.
Teachers selected student artwork from across the
district for the first-ever Student Art Celebration
Showcase, featuring framed pieces created by
students from all 11 schools.

excellence in music education by earning the
