Spring sports registration will be from January 20, 2025 - February 14, 2025 using Arbiter Sports (Family ID). For more information on registering for athletics, please visit the district's website at www.wcsdpa.org.
Winter Keystone Exams will begin starting Monday, January 6th and running through January 16th. Students testing have been made aware of their make-up testing sessions.
Tips for a successful testing session:
- Arrive early and have laptops charged and updated
- NO electronic devices are permitted in testing sessions - leave at home, or in lockers (all electronic devices brought into a testing session will have to be turned in during testing to the proctor). Exceptions are made for students using personal electronic devices for medical needs through PDE.
- Get a good night's sleep and eat breakfast the morning of testing.
To better prepare students for standardized testing, all students are not permitted to have personal electronic devices during in-class testing (cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, etc).
Thank you for your support as students take make-up standardized tests as part of working to achieve a state required graduation pathway. For questions on graduation pathways for your individual student, please reach out to Mrs. Hahn in the Counseling Office.
We look forward to seeing everyone back as school is in session Thursday, January 2nd, 2025. A few reminders as students come back from holiday break:
- The school day starts at 7:55 a.m.
- Electronic devices (cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, etc.) are to be kept away and not in use during instructional time
- All student sign-ins and sign-outs should occur at the main office and the front entrance during the school day.
Looking forward to seeing everyone back and to a safe and productive 2025!

Warren Area High School would like to nominate Noel Alexander for the C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader for IU5. Noel exemplifies the C.L.A.S.S. characteristics both inside the school community and outside in the greater Warren community.
Noel has been an excellent academic student at WAHS, taking a challenging courseload while being involved in numerous extracurricular activities. Noel has maintained an excellent GPA while taking AP and Honors level courses and being an officer for multiple organizations. Noel is an Merit-Honor level student with an excellent GPA, high class rank, and scored a 5 on multiple AP Exams last year. Noel was awarded with the College Board: National Rural and Small-Town Recognition Award and as an AP Scholar with Honors Award recipient. After high school, Noel plans on majoring in Biochemistry to prepare for a career in the medical field, with an interest in Endocrinology.
In the building Noel serves as President of the Key Club (all four years), the Dragons Lens (student media organization), and Academic Quiz Bowl. In addition to these groups, Noel is also active with the Student Council all four year (Media Coordinator 11/12), Prom Committee, Battle of the Books, National Honor Society, and Spanish Club. Noel is well respected in the building by both peers and adults and is a model student to have in the building.

This fall, Noel was chosen by her peers as the 2024 Warren Area High School Homecoming Queen, a testament to her personal character and standing amongst her peers in the building.
In addition to school sponsored activities, Noel has been involved in a number of organizations outside of school.
