Tamaqua Area School DistrictIn Partnership with Home and Community
Welcome to Tamaqua Area School District. As you navigate our website, you will find information about many of the outstanding people, varied curriculum, programs, initiatives and accomplishments within our district
As superintendent of Tamaqua Area School District (TASD), I continuously reflect on our district’s mission that, along with our district's policies, guide our decision-making processes.The MISSION of the Tamaqua Area School District, in partnership with home and community, is committed to empowering students by providing opportunities to achieve their maximum potentials as responsible citizens and productive lifelong learners competing in an ever changing global community.
Tamaqua Area School District has a rich culture for the appreciation of education. Our students and staff continue to excel to very high levels of performance in the areas of academics and extracurricular activities. The foundations of the Morgan Scholarship and the Scheller Scholarship enable Tamaqua Area graduates the opportunity to attend college. The district has dual enrollment agreements with Penn State University, Hazleton Campus, emphasizing STEM education and Lehigh Carbon Community College.
The value of a TASD education goes beyond high test scores and acceptance rates at post-secondary institutions. A TASD education is about engaging our students – building relationships and enabling and encouraging our students to grow, explore, achieve and develop skills for life. This includes experiences within our vast array of curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular programs.We are grateful for your support of our schools and for your continued investment in our most important resource – the young people of Rush Township, Schuylkill Township, Walker Township, West Penn Township, and the Borough of Tamaqua.
Sincerely,Raymond J. Kinder
