Due to a mechanical issue (well pump) in the school building, the DAMASCUS AREA SCHOOL will operate on a Flexible Instruction Day (FID – virtual learning) on Friday, February 13, 2026.
Damascus students should not report to school on this day. Instead, they will complete their instructional activities and assignments from home via remote learning. It is anticipated that the mechanical issue will be resolved and school will resume normal procedures on Tuesday - February 17, 2026, following the holiday weekend.
This communication DOES NOT impact any other Wayne Highlands school. All schools, other than Damascus, will operate normally (to include transportation), on Friday - February 13, 2026.
Freshman Ben Head recently was invited to the Capitol
Freshman Ben Head recently was invited to the Capitol in Harrisburg by Senator Rosemary Brown for a special recognition. When Ben was in 8th grade he won a “There ought to be a law” essay contest. Senator Brown invited Ben to the capitol building to receive his award last week and Senator Brown also had Ben sit in on congressional committee meetings and see the legislative process at work. Thank you to Senator Brown and her staff at the Capitol and congratulations Ben!
