  • Bryson, Student Council President of Abington Senior High School

    “Why would we waste our money and replace, for example, roofing that is falling apart? Why would we waste our money and do that, when we could invest in a whole new building and have students learning on new technology… that is [proven to raise] reading levels and math scores?”

  • Carol Godfrey, Licensed Realtor, Abington Alumni

    “I am a local realtor in Abington and have listed and sold many homes in Abington Township over the past several decades. Buyers tell me over and over again that they want to move to Abington Township because they want their children to attend the Abington School District.

    In my opinion, better schools will make Abington an even more desirable place to live and, in turn, will raise property values.

    Vote “yes” for the Middle School Referendum on May 20th to invest in our community!”

  • Abby Guido, former Abington student

    I’m an Abington Middle School alum, and even though it’s been over 30 years, I still remember how much I loved my art classes there. Those early creative experiences really stayed with me and helped shape the path I ended up on.

    Now I’m a college professor, and I sometimes teach students who came through Abington. The community clearly continues to support great kids - but the building was already in need of updates back when I was a student. It’s time to give today’s students a space that truly supports them.
