We are celebrating our CHS Seniors in the senior hallway this week!
Only 11 more days until graduation.
Go Falcons!
The 2024 Kindergarten Bike Safety Program kicked off in April at Coudersport Elementary School by CARE for Children. Fifty "Falcon" Kindergarten students learned the importance of bike safety and wearing a helmet every time they ride a bike or scooter. Each student was also fit for a free helmet.
To add to all the excitement today, our sixth graders have landed in DC! A fun, educational, packed three days ahead! 🇺🇸
Seniors are enjoying their last few days at CHS and the sunshine while playing yard games and enjoying some shade.
Today was a beautiful day for an Elementary Field Day! Thank you to our PTSA, faculty/staff, parents, and HS students for helping to make this a success.
Our sixth graders enjoyed learning about a wide variety of occupations today during their annual Career Day. We appreciate all who participated; thank you for contributing to this rewarding event.

Yesterday, CHS students in grades 9-12 heard the heartwrenching story of Ken and Debbie Iwaniec and their son Kenton. Trooper Iwaniec was a 24 year old Pennsylvania State Trooper who was killed by a drunk driver in 2008 as he was coming home from his shift in Chester County. The driver hit Iwaniec head-on after crossing the center line. The trooper was flown to a hospital in Deleware but later died.
Kaden, a junior at CHS reflected on the assembly stating "I didn't expect it to be like that! I thought it was just going to be some slideshow with statistics and a bunch of reasons why we shouldn't drink and drive. It was more than that! When you hear from someone that has experienced this on a personal level, it touches you in a different way. It made a few people around me cry, it almost made me cry. Hearing from his parents, made it so much more personal. It was one of the most powerful assemblies I have ever sat through. It sure made me think!"
Trooper Iwaniec’s family has dedicated their lives to honoring his memory. Kenton’s mother, Debby Iwaniec, serves as the president of the Trooper Kenton Iwaniec Foundation. It is for all DUI victims and their families. Its mission is to honor the victims of drunk and drugged driving and support law enforcement in their efforts to keep our roads safe.
