Mars Area High School received a 2019 Pennsylvania Department of Education “Keystone Award for Academic Excellence” in recognition of the school’s 2019 National Blue Ribbon Award.

Pedro Rivera, Pennsylvania Secretary of Education, presented the award to Lindsay Rosswog, Mars Area High School principal, at the 2019 SAS Institute, held Dec. 8-11 in Hershey, Pa.

Earlier this year, Mars Area High School was named as one of only 362 public and private schools in the country to receive a 2019 National Blue Ribbon School designation. The school was recognized as an Exemplary High Performing School.

“This award recognizes, on a national level, the demonstration of consistent excellence that we have always valued at Mars,” said Rosswog. “Mars Area High School could not have accomplished this without the foundation established by our dedicated teachers and staff members, our determined administrators, and the endless support of parents and community members combined with the hard work of our students.”
