Altoona Area School District is seeking individuals to serve a one-year commitment in the National Service AmeriCorps program.
AASD is a designated National Service Site.

The 145th Altoona Area High School Commencement will be held on Friday, June 11th at Mansion Park Stadium beginning at 6:00 p.m.

To help schools determine which students have an “unmet need” for a connected device and/or internet access for off-campus learning, the PA Association of Intermediate Units (PAIU) and the Penn State Extension have teamed up to release a short survey for public school districts to send to parents. The survey results will be invaluable in two ways: 1) they will serve as the data collection instrument so schools can successfully apply for the new Emergency Connectivity Fund, and 2) they will inform state and county leaders where Internet is not currently available so funding can be directed towards broadband build-out to those homes.

Members of the Class of 2021 and their families are encouraged to review the 2021 Commencement Newsletter for important information and dates for upcoming events.
