Butler Area School District is excited to welcome Dr. Laura Miller as the new Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Professional Development. Dr. Miller will engage in some activities with the district throughout the remainder of this school year and officially begin her new role full time over the summer.

We are very excited to share that Butler Area School District has been awarded a $1,382,353 grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Education! At the April 8th school board meeting, I shared with the BASD Board of School Directors that these funds are through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), which was signed into law on June 25, 2022. Through this legislation, Congress authorized $1 billion in funding to provide students with safer and healthier learning environments.  

The Golden Tornado Scholastic Foundation, Inc.'s 21st annual Fine Arts & Beyond (FAB) Showcase was a great success. The student artwork was incredible and the student musical performances were outstanding. Thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success!

Students in grades 5-8 competed in the first ever Center Avenue Middle School History Bowl! The event was hosted by Officer Swartzlander who prepared ten rounds of questions for the students. Elementary students attended the history bowl to cheer on their peers!

It was a close competition, but in the end Mrs. Kaylor's class came in first place, Miss Pernazza's class in second place and Mrs. Dunton's class came in third.

Congratulations to all of our performers in the 2024 Butler Orchestra POPS Concert “On the Screen”!
