Proposed Changes to Chapter 4 Regulations - Impact on Graduation Requirements 
The State Board of Education has proposed changes to the Chapter 4 regulations regarding high school graduation and the implementation of the Keystone Exams for Pennsylvania students. Before any regulatory changes take effect, a mandatory review process is conducted. The first step in the review process is a 30 day public comment period, which opened on October 6, 2012. The Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) receives public comment and makes recommendations for revision. After the IRRC review, State legislators have an opportunity to provide input. 
 
Click here for more information on the proposed regulations as well as a sample letter and contact information for the IRRC, local legislators and the State Board of Education. Letters and comments to the IRRC must be received by November 5, 2012.

Conestoga Students Recognized by National Merit Scholarship Corporation

Thirty-five Conestoga High School students have been recognized as National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalists.

This achievement ranks them among the top 1% of juniors in the nation. These students entered the National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test as high school juniors. They will go on to compete as finalists and perhaps become eligible for scholarships through the National Merit Corporation or its sponsoring organizations.

 

In addition, thirty-nine of Conestoga's students have been recognized for their achievement as National Merit Commended Scholars and three Conestoga students have been recognized as National Hispanic Scholars. 

 

National Merit semifinalists, commended scholars and Hispanic scholars will be recognized for their achievement on Thursday, October 18, 2012 at Conestoga High School. The T/E School District community congratulates these students for their outstanding accomplishment.
