Peters Township High School Start Time Changing

The changes to the school day will go into effect for the 2018-19 school year.

PETERS TOWNSHIP, PA - Peters Township High School students will get a few extra minutes to sleep in next school year.

School directors have decided students in grades 9-12 will start school at 7:45 a.m., 15 minutes later than the current time. The school day will end at 2:40 p.m.

The schedule change means the earliest bus pick-up will move from 6:30 a.m. to near 7 a.m. It also will trigger later lunch start times and a shorter overall school day for middle school students attending high school classes.
