Message from the Superintendent: The Community of YS

An essShelly 2ential component of the York Suburban School District is our Community of Encouragement and it is more important than ever that we ensure that all students are encouraged by our community.  

Our fundamental task is to ensure that every student has and recognizes a path forward.  To recognize a path forward, children must feel valued in the community in which they live and learn.  ALL students must feel valued, no matter their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, country of origin, cultural background, or socioeconomic status.  Feeling valued is a challenge for many students and by building a safe and inclusive community, we continue to work to enhance this sense of value for each and every student.

The District is fortunate to have a strong foundation of community and we will continue to reach out to all of our constituents to ensure that everyone is truly a part.  It takes effort.  Join me in reaching out to someone.  Reach out to someone and encourage him.  Reach out to someone and help her to be a part of this very special community.  

We want you to be a part of the York Suburban Community of Encouragement.

Dr. Michele A. Merkle, Superintendent
