District News

The Baldwin-Whitehall School District is off to a wonderful start of the school year with fresh energy to learn.

Dr. David Muench has been selected to serve as the next principal of J. E. Harrison Middle School. His anticipated official start date is August 1, although he has already begun working with Mr. Ross on several important transition items, including the development of the master schedule and other planning efforts for the upcoming school year.

We are thrilled to invite you to celebrate the remarkable achievements of the Baldwin High School Class of 2026 at our upcoming Commencement Ceremony!

BWSD celebrated the second-annual Transportation Department Appreciation Day on April 28. Spearheaded by student council members Nate Malock and Gianna Harkins, this celebration, organized by the BW Elementary PTO and BHS Student Council, was put on to thank the District’s hardworking bus drivers and transportation staff. 

In a wonderful example of using their talents to serve the community, Baldwin High School students entertained nearly 300 attendees on April 9th at Whitehall Borough Historical Society’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Baldwinaires and B-side choirs added patriotic flair with their musical contributions. 

This year, over 300 Baldwin-Whitehall administrators, faculty, staff, and students volunteered to help senior residents in our community with projects at their homes and living facilities through the Day of Caring. From yard work, garden prep, and pressure washing to technology help, smoke detector installation, and even carpet removal — we do it all!
