Twin Valley School District (TVSD) is a school district headquartered in Caernarvon Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, with an Elverson postal address.[1][2] Within Berks County the district includes Caernarvon Township (including the Berks County part of Morgantown), New Morgan, and Robeson Township (including Gibraltar).[3] Within Chester County the district includes Elverson, Honey Brook, Honey Brook Township, and West Nantmeal Township.[4]

History

[edit]

The school district was established in 1955.[5]

The Twin Valley Junior-Senior High School, completed some time before 1960,[6] had a cost of about $2.1 million.[7] In 1960 there was a controversy over some Amish men who were jailed for not allowing their children to attend the junior-senior high school. The Twin Valley School District's board of trustees required that if the Amish men wished to give a religious education, they should not home school and instead incorporate a formal school of their own.[6] The principal of the high school stated that it would not be feasible for the school district to operate a one room schoolhouse at the middle school for the Amish children.[8]

Robert Pleis was superintendent from circa 2007 until 2020. Patrick Winters became the superintendent in 2021.[9]

In 2022 the district had 3,000 students.[10]

The district has a Native American mascot. In 2022 the superintendent opposed a measure to change the mascot,[10] as did the school board.[11]

In 2024 Winters left his position of superintendent,[12] and Robert Scoboria became the new superintendent. Scoboria was previously superintendent at Wyomissing School District.[13]
