Graduation Requirements York Tech students must take a full range of academic and technical program courses to complete the school’s minimum credit requirements for a high school diploma. York Tech will follow all state mandates regarding assessment and graduation requirements. Students meet regularly with their school counselors to develop their programs of study and schedule all classes needed for graduation. 27 total credits are needed to graduate, including required credits in English (4), social studies (3), mathematics (4), science (3), health and physical education (1), technical (9), and electives (3). Any student who does not meet graduation requirements by the last day of school for seniors will be unable to participate in commencement. To receive a technical certificate, the student must graduate, complete their technical program, and take both portions of the NOCTI exam. Students must also meet all Keystone Test requirements as designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Mission The comprehensive school counseling program is devoted to meeting the academic, career, and social needs of all students through collaboration with sending school districts, community employers, parents, students, faculty, and administrators in order to prepare them for post secondary and career success. Philosophy We believe that all students are unique and have dignity, value, and the right to be treated with respect. All students have the potential to succeed in the three major domains of student development: social, academic, and career. To accomplish this, the comprehensive school counseling program must be data driven, aligned with the school's mission statement and the standards set forth by the ASCA national model, and administered by full-time, state-certified, master's degree-level school counselors. Scheduling School counselors meet with all students to highlight important information regarding course scheduling. It is our goal to make scheduling a collaborative effort that involves the student, family, and school personnel. The process is designed to determine what courses will best meet the needs of each student, while also meeting York Tech's graduation requirements. Parents and caregivers can expect to receive more information about scheduling in February. Additionally, the most recent resources are listed below.

York Tech's Communications & PR Department distributes important information to students, staff, families, alumni, and community members. Communications & PR Staab, Nicholas Director of Communications Awards Sometimes, York Tech is fortunate to be recognized for its communications and public relations efforts. Below are the most recent awards that have been earned. 2025 PenSPRA Award of Excellence: Podcast 2025 PenSPRA Award of Excellence: Video 2025 PenSPRA Honorable Mention: Video 2025 NSPRA Award of Merit: Newsletter 2024 NSPRA Award of Excellence: Video Series 2024 NSPRA Award of Excellence: Website 2024 NSPRA Award of Merit: Podcast 2023 PenSPRA Award of Merit: Video 2023 NSPRA Award of Excellence: E-Newsletter 2023 NSPRA Award of Excellence: Video Closings & Delays If it becomes necessary to alter the school day or close school, parents and caregivers will be informed via ParentSquare notifications, which could include phone calls, texts, emails, and app notifications, depending on each individual's selected communication preferences. Additionally, students will be sent a notification to their school-issued email account. York Tech also informs local TV stations of delays and closings. Depending on the circumstances, students may be required to participate in a Flexible Instruction Day (FID) when school is closed. During FIDs, students are expected to remain at home and access synchronous instruction using Schoology and Microsoft Teams. For example, students with math during the first period will visit the math teacher’s Schoology home page at the assigned time and log in to the virtual classroom using the provided Microsoft Teams link. Communications Methods York Tech utilizes ParentSquare to keep families and staff informed about important or time-sensitive updates. Parents and caregivers can expect to receive the majority of time-sensitive information via ParentSquare notifications, which could include phone calls, texts, emails, and app alerts, depending on each individual's selected communication preferences. ParentSquare pulls contact information from Skyward, so it is important that families keep their contact information up to date in Skyward to ensure key messages are received. All routine information that is not time sensitive, such as calendar reminders, will be delivered through the Spartan Review newsletter, which is distributed using ParentSquare. Expand the Newsletter section on this page for more information about the Spartan Review. Emergency Communication During an emergency situation, York Tech's first priority is the safety of students and employees. Ensuring their safety involves staff members working directly with first responders, which takes precedence over sharing information about an incident with the public. Oftentimes, distributing details too soon can interfere with the response by emergency personnel or make a situation worse. Therefore, communication will be sent to families once it is safe to do so. Naturally, a delay may occur between the start of a safety event and when families receive an official update. Rest assured that, regardless of the communication's timing, immediate action will be taken to ensure the safety of students. Your trust and patience during difficult moments is greatly appreciated. ParentSquare Current York Tech students and their parents and caregivers will automatically receive all school-wide information and time-sensitive alerts through ParentSquare in the form of emails, texts, phone calls, or app notifications, depending on each individual's selected communication preferences. Students, parents, and caregivers will not need to take action in order to receive communication through ParentSquare. However, managing individual communication preferences and utilizing all of ParentSquare’s capabilities will require registering with ParentSquare and/or downloading the platform’s app. Each registrant must use an email address or phone number that is already associated with their York Tech Skyward account when signing up for ParentSquare. Use the links below to get started. Register with ParentSquare Download the ParentSquare App Parents and caregivers can take the free ParentSquare course to learn more about setting up an account, changing preferences, and navigating the ParentSquare experience.

Statement of Neutrality The York County School of Technology is fully committed to its students and their comprehensive technical education. Maintaining this singular focus often requires eliminating potential distractions that could detract from the educational environment. Therefore, it is the practice of York Tech and its administrators to refrain from making any statements in response to local, regional, national, or world events, except those that directly and significantly alter the school’s day-to-day operations. Similarly, York Tech will avoid social and political situations that could be misconstrued as an organizational alignment with or endorsement of a particular person, ideology, or interest group not directly related to the administration, implementation, or promotion of comprehensive technical education.
