Welcome back to the 2019-2020 school year!  This year promises to be another exciting year for the Shamokin Area School District community.  I am truly honored to start my second year as Superintendent and thank you for the genuine support you have extended to me during my first year.  Having spent 15 years here at Shamokin Area, I have a deep commitment to continue to strengthen the educational opportunities we provide to all students.

We are committed to ALL of our students in helping them to become independent, responsible citizens who are ready to take on the world.  Our administrators, faculty, and staff have spent a great deal of time during the summer preparing for the upcoming year.  This year we will be focusing on academics, social emotional learning, and student safety.  We invite you to learn more about the educational programs and opportunities that Shamokin Area has to offer and I look forward to seeing you and your children at various events and activities throughout the year.   

I wish you all a happy, safe, and successful school year.

Chris J. Venna

Superintendent
