PSSA testing starts next week for our 7th and 8th grade students! We will be giving away Apple Airpods thanks to the generosity of the Iroquois Schools Foundation. Entering the drawing is simple! Each student will be given an entry for attending PSSA testing on time and taking the test with their testing group. 7th grade students can earn up to 2 tickets each. 1 for perfect attendance during ELA and 1 for perfect attendance during Math. 8th grade students are tested in Science this year so that means they have the chance to earn a bonus ticket! The third pair of Airpods pictured are going to be raffled off during our Keystone testing in May.
Today’s softball game scheduled at Northwestern has been cancelled.
Congratulations to Isabel Moser for advancing to the All-State Choral Festival which was held April 6th-9th.

11th Grade Elite Brave Mariah Denning: What do you love about Iroquois?
As much as I may not be in the best mood some days, there is always something weird or interesting that happens/that I hear that makes my day.
What are your future aspirations? I’m still figuring out exactly where and how I will go about it, but I am aware that growing up I felt as if not many people really understood how I was feeling or understood who I was. I know for sure that growing up I would like to be able to understand other teens the way I wasn’t. After school I plan on starting to save each year to travel to different areas.
What teacher has made the most impact on you and why?
This teacher is no longer at Iroquois, but Mrs. Dell from my 10th grade English class made the most impact on me. She understood what I was going through and helped me during a really hard time. Most classes I never really looked forward to, but her English class is the class I always looked forward to going to everyday. In her class I felt like I could express myself in a way I couldn’t through words.
Favorite Quote: “All of us have been through things in the past, but it is on you to decide whether or not you will use it to keep moving forward or be stuck in the past. “
10th Grade Elite Brave Brodie Luke: Clubs and/or Sports: Soccer and Cross country mountain biking.
What do you love about Iroquois? I love that the staff is very supportive of it students and how teachers are able to make a connection with the students.
What are your future aspirations? I either plan to go into college for mechanical engineering or I will go into a trade school for construction. What teacher has made the most impact on you and why? I think Mr.Patrick has made the most impact on me this year because everyday I have his class, I have something to look forward to and a class to enjoy working and being in. Favorite Quote:
