Schools
In 2010, the Mifflin County School Board voted to reduce 15 schools to 10. The High schools will see the first change, 10th through 12th graders at Indian Valley High and Lewistown High will be placed at the new Mifflin for the 2011-12 school year. Five schools were closed and the former Indian Valley and Lewistown Middle Schools were retrofitted to serve students in grades 4-5, however Indian Valley serves students in grades K-5, due to its size.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
