Staying Connected
“Our staff has always believed in meeting families where they are,” said Rachel Esh, principal of Carter and MacRae Elementary. “Becoming a community school gives us more tools to do that. With Lancaster Rec as our partner, we’ll be able to expand after-school offerings, increase access to resources like food and mental health services, and create stronger connections between home and school.”
The School District of Lancaster is proud to announce that Carter and MacRae Elementary has officially joined the district’s growing community school initiative. It becomes the seventh school in our network to adopt the community school model, an approach centered on supporting the whole child by bringing educational, health, social service, and community development partners directly into the school building. We’re equally proud to share that Lancaster Recreation Commission (Lancaster Rec) will serve as the lead agency at Carter & MacRae.
For over a century, Lancaster Rec has worked in close partnership with families across Lancaster City and Township. Known for their inclusive programs that span early childhood education, youth sports, senior activities, and after-school enrichment, Lancaster Rec has long played a meaningful role in promoting well-being and connection across generations. Their deep familiarity with our neighborhoods and the families who live here makes them uniquely positioned to support Carter & MacRae students both during and beyond the school day.
