Pocono Mountain School District

Pocono Mountain School District

Pocono Mountain School District (PMSD for short) is located in The Poconos of Pennsylvania, in Monroe County. The district is split in two: Pocono Mountain East and Pocono Mountain West.

History & Facts

Before the district split in half, one high school served the entire district. The first high school of the district and originally called Pocono Mountain High School, Pocono Mountain East High School (PMEHS) is located in Swiftwater, PA, along with Swiftwater Elementary Center (SEC) and Swiftwater Intermediate School (SIS). All three schools share the same campus. Those who attend the East campus attend either SEC, Pocono Elementary Center (PEC- Tannersville), or Barrett Elementary Center (BEC- Mountainhome). Students all then attend SIS for two years, before going to PMEHS for the last four years of school. For the 2008 school year, Pocono Mountain East Junior High School (PMEJHS) will open on the Swiftwater campus. Students will now attend PMEJHS for two years before going to PMEHS for the remaining three.

Once the district split, the West high school was built in 2002. Those who attend the West campus attend either Tobyhanna Elementary Center (TEC- Pocono Pines), Clear Run Elementary Center (CREC -Mt. Pocono), or Coolbaugh Elementary Center (CEC -Tobyhanna). Students then all come together and attend the middle school at Clear Run Intermediate School (CRIS- Mt.Pocono) across from CREC. After spending two years there, students are then moved over to the West Junior High School on the Sullivan Trail Campus, across from the West high school. The Class of 2006 was the first graduating class to attend West for the full four years.coolbaugh elemently center

Mascots

The entire district was originally home of the Cardinals. However, when it was determined that a new school would have to be built, another squad was then needed. The Cardinals still remain at the original high school, the East high school. Barrett Elementary Center, Pocono Elementary Center, and Swiftwater Elementary Center are also cardinals. PM West is home to the Panthers. The Cardinals are red and white, and the Panthers are blue and silver.

Athletics

The Pocono Mountain School District belongs to District 11 of the P1AA state divisions. Their local conference is the Mountain Valley conference. Both high schools are Quad A.
