The School District of Lancaster received the 2026 Spirit of Lancaster Award from United Way of Lancaster County, PA during its United in Impact event at the Ware Center for the Arts!
The award recognizes SDoL’s longstanding partnership with United Way of Lancaster and the continued support of district employees through the annual workplace campaign.
Since 1996, when electronic records began, SDoL teachers and staff have contributed $965,499 through United Way including $67,607 designated to the Lancaster Education Foundation.
The Spirit of Lancaster Award comes as SDoL continues its 2026 workplace campaign and moves closer to surpassing $1 million in lifetime contributions through United Way.
Thank you for the recognition and honor United Way! Read the full announcement on our website.
Policy decisions made in Harrisburg and Washington eventually reach every school community. Those decisions help determine what resources schools receive and how districts respond to the needs of their students.
Dr. Alex Rohrer, Community School Director at Burrowes Elementary School, will have an opportunity to study that process more closely as a member of the 2026–27 Pennsylvania Education Policy Fellowship Program!
The eight-month program is administered by The Education Policy and Leadership Center. It brings together professionals from across Pennsylvania whose work touches education and public policy. Since the program began in 1999, more than 700 leaders have completed the fellowship.
For Dr. Rohrer, the fellowship connects the relationships built each day at Burrowes with the larger decisions shaping public education across Pennsylvania. He plans to bring what he learns back to Lancaster and use it to strengthen the work already underway for Burrowes students.
Congratulations Dr. Rohrer! Read the full announcement on our website.
