The Keystone Exams in USC

Join the PTA Council, superintendent Patrick O'Toole and other district administrators for the spring open mic in the new Boyce Middle School Theater.

In 2010, the Pennsylvania Department of Education issued new regulations regarding competency standards for students using the new Keystone Exams. 

Beginning with the class of 2015, students are required to demonstrate successful completion of course work in Algebra I, Biology, Literature and English Composition. The completion can be demonstrated using the state-developed Keystone Exams.

This event allows you to provide input to the district administrators.
