Susquehanna Valley continues to offer mentoring opportunities for staff members, pairing veteran teachers with less experienced professionals. Younger and veteran teachers alike benefit from the mentoring sessions and - in turn - students benefit from the generational sharing of effective teaching methods. The call is going out for both mentors and mentees. This is open to any and all SV staff.

Veteran to receive diploma at 2008 SV commencement
We can award a high school diploma to a local veteran who could not receive a diploma as a result of participation in one of the wars. This year Albert Rood will receive a diploma at graduation. Al is the father-in-law of Mark Gorgos and grandfather of senior Renee Keville.  If you have ever attended local parades, you have seen Al marching proudly with the Marines- in about every local parade. He is one very proud veteran. This one will be an honor to present a diploma to.
