York Suburban celebrates class of 2025; administration outlines postsecondary outcomes and free summer camps for elementary students
Summary
The board heard a student representative report and an administrative roundup celebrating 223 graduates and their postsecondary plans; the district will run 12 free summer camps for elementary students and six pre-K camps ahead of kindergarten.
Board members and administrators used the May 27 meeting to highlight the class of 2025 and preview summer programs for younger students.
Student board representative Nicole reported academic and extracurricular recognitions, including district award recipients and acknowledgements for athletes and scholars. The board recognized Sofia Skollett, co-valedictorian of York Suburban High School’s Class of 2025, who announced she will attend Harvard University in the fall to study comparative literature. Skollett told the board she wrote about her board experience in college application essays and said, "I really valued when I was on the board. I learned a lot from that, and I learned a lot from suburban." The board and audience offered congratulations.
Superintendent-level administrator Dr. Krauser provided an overview of the graduating class and postsecondary destinations. He said 223 students graduated and that, among students who responded to the district’s survey, roughly 100 planned to attend four-year colleges, 16 to two-year colleges, 17 to trade or business schools, 22 to the workforce, 9 to military service and 21 planned a gap year. He noted that York College of Pennsylvania was the top single choice among college-bound students and that graduates were matriculating to about 57 different institutions nationally.
Krauser also previewed district summer programming: the district will run 12 free four-day summer camps for elementary students with topics such as cooking, theater, science, CPR, American Sign Language and logic/board games; approximately one-quarter of the district’s elementary students are expected to attend. In addition, the district will offer six pre-K camps the week before kindergarten to help children who have not had preschool get an early start; about 70 children were registered at the time of the meeting.
The board also heard brief reports of broader student success, including five National Merit recognitions and various awards highlighted by the student representative.
