The Conemaugh Township Area School District is the proud home of over 980 students and 150 staff members who call themselves "Indians." Our district has been serving the families of Somerset County for 75 years!
The tradition of excellence we are building upon began in 1833, when the first log schoolhouse was built in Maple Swamp near the village of Davidsville, in Conemaugh Township. Conemaugh Township, named for the Indian word meaning "Otter Creek," encompassed the boroughs of Benson, Hollsopple, Bens Creek, Kring, Mishler, Border, Davidsville, Thomas Mill, Foustwell, and Jerome. As the Township grew, twelve small schoolhouses were built to serve the students of our area until 8th grade. It wasn't until the mid-1900s that a consolidated school was built.
Since that time, CTASD has developed into a district known for its academic achievement, fine arts endeavors, and athletic prowess. The strong work ethic of our students and unparalleled support of our community has propelled our district into one of the top performing of the nation. We are very proud of our achievements but know that they only provide validation for us to continue advancing in excellence! We look forward to the next 75 years at Conemaugh Township and invite you to be a part of it!
Our Philosophy of Education
We are committed to providing an educational system that reflects the value and character of our community. We believe it is our responsibility to offer equal educational opportunities to the students of our district that will align with their interests, abilities, and needs while wisely utilizing the resources our community entrusts to us.
We know a democratic society is founded on the worth of each individual and the value of his/her unique contribution to that society. That is why we define our purpose as "facilitating the development of each student's fullest potential." Education is simply the guidance a student receives through the learning process, so he/she becomes personally effective in a dynamic society.
The Conemaugh Township Area School District and community are committed to a student-focused environment that promotes responsibility, encourages respect for self and others, and develops lifelong learning skills, while providing opportunities for students to recognize and achieve their potential.
