Happy New Year from all of us at Brandywine Heights Area School District! Wishing you a 2025 filled with joy and endless possibilities. Here's to making it a year to remember! 🎉✨
Earlier this month, two Brandywine Heights students auditioned for District Band, a select festival ensemble made up of students from school districts in seven counties, including Berks. Junior Madeline Roibu (clarinet) and 8th grader Louis Johnson (baritone saxophone) both qualified for District Band and will represent Brandywine at the festival in January. Congratulations to Maddie and Louis on this outstanding accomplishment!
Wishing you joy, peace, and warmth this holiday season from all of us at Brandywine Heights Area School District. Happy Holidays! 🎄❄️✨
Big thanks to our School Board for treating the entire District Staff to a holiday lunch! Chick-fil-A sandwiches and snacks were the perfect way to celebrate the season. 🎄🍴
☕️ Cold, foggy mornings call for hot coffee and warm hearts. After Monday’s moving POW/MIA Flag Donation Ceremony, we shared stories, smiles, and some warm beverages with our incredible Veterans. Thank you to everyone who braved the weather to honor the brave.
You can live-stream the High School Winter Concert this evening at 7:00 p.m. We hope to see you there, either in person or virtually!

🎶 The Middle School Select Chorus and Band performed at Christkindlmarkt in Bethlehem on Friday. 🎄 Students did a wonderful job and enjoyed some time exploring Christkindlmarkt! ❄️
The Brandywine Heights Area School District will be operating under a two-hour delay. Road conditions, particularly in the higher elevations, are snow covered and very slippery. A delay will allow for roads to be treated and a safer travel in daylight
