At Gettysburg Area SD, investments in mental health supports are making real impacts on students & families. Every day, staff members ensure that learners are connected with the resources they need to thrive. It was great to talk directly with students about their needs & goals.
When @PAAgriculture Secretary Redding & I joined Bloomsburg Area SD staff the month, we saw the benefits of eating a nutritious breakfast. The Shapiro Administration remains committed to ensuring all students have access to breakfast & start their day ready to learn.
Last week, I joined @GovernorShapiro at Scranton School District and met with every superintendent from Lackawanna County. Discussions about the budget, special education, free breakfast, and more help ensure that we better understand the needs of Pennsylvania's learners.
When learners are given the opportunity to chart their own course, they thrive. With partners like @ThaddeusStevens, we continue to expand opportunities for students while addressing Pennsylvania's workforce shortages in high demand fields. Thank you for hosting us!

We were proud to welcome Pennsylvania Secretary of Education Carrie Rowe and Deputy Secretary of Workforce Development Patricia Blumenauer to campus for a firsthand look at how #TSCT creates pathways to opportunity. Thanks for visiting!

Programs like East Stroudsburg Area School District's free summer meal programs ensure all learners have access to the nutritious meals they need to keep playing, learning, growing and thriving – no matter the season.
One of the smartest investments we can make is investing in the education of all learners. The Shapiro Administration continues to work tirelessly to ensure all students have the freedom to chart their own course and the opportunity to succeed.

These kids have some great ideas — and because of our new state budget, we’ve already delivered on a few of them.

Today, Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen and @PADeptofEd Secretary Dr. Carrie Rowe stopped by @NorthernYorkSD 🐻❄️ to check out the “Bear Necessities” program, which offers free everyday essentials to families and staff who need them. Their visit also showed how the Shapiro Administration’s effort to provide free period products in schools is already making a real, positive impact.

My visit to @PennHighlands to see the "One Book, One Community" reading program highlights the importance of collaboration between community colleges, school districts, and libraries. Their dedication encourages students to read and learn while exploring new and engaging topics.
Every day, teachers across the Commonwealth inspire and ignite a love of learning in students. We are so grateful for the work they do to shape the future of all learners & help them succeed. Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek, thank you for all that you do.
Yesterday, I visited @PointParkU with @LGAustinDavis to reaffirm our commitment to fighting food insecurity on college campuses. When basic needs are met, PA's students can focus on the journey of learning while feeling empowered to use all available resources.
On Thursday, I visited @LehighCTI to learn about the great work learners are doing to further their knowledge of career & technical education. We are proud to support students wherever their educational and professional pursuits take them.
Last week, I visited Red Lion Area SD where I attended their annual STEAM Ahead Event. Learners thought creatively while engaging in hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math activities while participating in real-world problem solving.
Last week I visited @SDoLancaster to participate as a panelist for Bobcat Bank, a Shark Tank-style event, & listened to student pitches that address chronic absenteeism. These events help students connect curriculum to community, build workforce skills, & have fun with learning.

Creating opportunity starts in our classrooms.

We’ve increased funding for public education by nearly $3 billion during my time as Governor — and it shows.
Graduation rates are up for the third year in a row, and we're ranked as one of the top states in the nation for public education.
This budget doubles down on our work to fund free school breakfast for every student, expand mental health services, repair outdated school buildings to keep our kids safe and healthy, and so much more.
I am honored & humbled to serve as the next PA Secretary of Education. I share @GovernorShapiro's belief that every learner deserves the freedom to chart their own course, & I am eager to work in close partnership with the General Assembly & others to make that vision a reality.
Dr. Carrie Rowe has dedicated her entire career to serving students, teachers, and parents — creating real opportunities for our young people at every level of Pennsylvania’s education system.
Today, she was overwhelmingly confirmed by the State Senate to be Pennsylvania’s new Secretary of the @PADeptofEd.
Congratulations, Secretary Rowe – I look forward to your continued leadership in getting more stuff done for the next generation of Pennsylvanians.
Educators have a lifelong impact on the learners they serve, inspiring them to dream big, think critically, & aspire to achieve. Maddie Loring, the 2026 PA Teacher of the Year, exemplifies exceptional dedication, service, and passion, & stands as a role model. Congratulations!
