Schuylkill Haven Area High School

Congratulations to Senior Anna Schaeffer on her recognition this evening as the 2025 Schuylkill Haven Area High School female Scholar Athlete. Anna has left a legendary athletic and academic legacy at Schuylkill Haven Area that will serve as an inspiration to future Scholar Athletes. We wish Anna all the best of luck as she moves on to her collegiate career at Shippensburg University.

Parents and Caregivers, Please be advised that dismissal times may be impacted by the road construction and repairs necessitated by the water main break near Berne and Columbia Streets. Expect delays today. Road closures may impact our ability to drop students at their normal stops on busses 4 and 6. Parents that reside in this area may want to contact your child’s building office and pickup your children at the school today. Otherwise, we will determine a new drop-off point as close as we can get to the original stops. Those families will be called directly this afternoon. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Arianna Yule, Sarah Tiver, Audrianna Webber and Heidi Stone all have artwork in this year’s Congressional Art Competition. This is a nationwide competition that originated in 1982 to encourage and recognize artistic talent within each congressional district. Since then, more than 650,000 high schools have participated. The 1st place winner from each congressional district is recognized both within their home district as well as at the annual awards ceremony in Washington DC. Each winner’s artwork is displayed in the U.S. Capital for the entire year. The opening reception for the 9th Congressional District will be held right here in Schuylkill Haven at the WIAC tomorrow (4/24) from 5-7. We are really proud of our students hard work and excited to show them off in this prestigious art competition! Congrats and good luck!

Our 8th grade ELA students have gone full true crime! Students recently completed their own true crime-inspired stories and podcasts—and now, they’re trading them with 8th graders from across the state! This creative exchange allows students to dive into each other’s work, offering thoughtful analysis and evaluations. It’s a fun, collaborative way to build writing, speaking, listening, and digital communication skills—all while keeping engagement high. Way to go, 8th grade!

Junior Hailey Keppley and Freshman Aisley Jenan had the opportunity to meet with Haven alumna Kayleigh Henninger, a graduate of the Class of 2004, to explore the career of a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). They asked insightful questions about the rigorous education and training required, the challenges and rewards of the profession, and her personal experiences in the field. Kayleigh shared valuable insights about her journey, from nursing school to becoming a CRNA, highlighting the critical role these specialized nurses play in patient care. Thank you, Kayleigh, for taking the time to mentor our students and share your expertise!
