The Conemaugh Township Area School District is the proud home of over 980 students and 150 staff members who call themselves 鈥淚ndians.鈥 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 schoolho探花视频e was built in Maple Swamp near the village of Davidsville, in Conemaugh Township. Conemaugh Township, named for the Indian word meaning 鈥淥tter Creek,鈥 encompassed the boroughs of Benson, Hollsopple, Bens Creek, Kring, Mishler, Border, Davidsville, Thomas Mill, Fo探花视频twell, and Jerome. As the Township grew, twelve small schoolho探花视频es were built to serve the students of our area until 8th grade. It wasn鈥檛 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 探花视频 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! The Conemaugh Township Area School District and community are committed to a student-foc探花视频ed 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.
