There
is a strong sense of loyalty and commitment to the mission of the Pottstown
School District.  Read what some of our “home grown” staff have to
say about why they are proud to be a part of the Pottstown School
District.

Ø  Because I am now
able to give back the same life principles that were given to
me.

Ø  As a student and
as an employee, I have met many people who have inspired and encouraged me to
pursue my dream.  I could not think of a better place to
be.

Ø  I am part of a
fantastic group of teachers who do more than is asked, suggested, or required;
who provide hope, purpose, and direction for kids who would otherwise be
lost.

Ø  I am able to make
a difference in the community that shaped me into the educator and adult I am
today.

Ø  We work together
as a team to help our students learn.

Ø  I am proud to work
with a group of dedicated staff members in a district that looks for what is
best for the students.

Ø  I want to serve as
a positive role model and assist our youth in achieving their
goals.

Ø  I had so many
wonderful teachers who inspired me to pursue a career in education. 
I love being able to give back to my hometown.

Ø  How everyone in
the district works together to give our students the best
education.

Ø  My father
graduated from Pottstown and always showed pride in his alma mater. 
That pride flows from generation to generation.  All who
work in the Pottstown School District strive to give our students an education
that includes a balance of academics and the arts.

Ø  Being with the
children of Pottstown every day and working with their families to guide them in
becoming successful adults is not just my job it is my calling and I am proud to
be a part of something so important.

Ø  It is an honor to
give the students of Pottstown the same great education I received when I
attended school.  I hope to be an inspiration to students that they
can grow up and do great things.

Ø  I am proud of
being a part of the ongoing work to provide an exceptional educational
environment that will help our students succeed. 

Ø  I am proud to be
back at Pottstown helping to make a difference by supporting our teachers and
staff.

Ø  It makes me proud
to know that I played a small but important part in their lives by paying it
forward.

Ø  My whole family
graduated from Pottstown and all of us have been involved in many school
activities.  We are Trojans and proud of
it!
