Hempfield School District
Hempfield School District is located in Lancaster County PA, in the heart of what is commonly known as the Pennsylvania Dutch country. Hempfield School District extends over 44 square miles encompassing Salunga, Landisville, East Petersburg, Centerville, Rohrerstown and Mountville. The district is thus divided into six elementary attendance areas. Hempfield has become one of the largest and most diverse school districts in the area with over 7,000 students and over 850 employees.
The Hempfield School District is comprised of one high school, two middle schools (grades 7 and 8) and seven elementary schools. In 1995 Hempfield High School was renovated and remodeled to include a two-story science wing, a Technology Center, and the Performing Arts Center. Construction of a new middle school and a primary center was completed in 1994. Renovations to Centerville Elementary School have recently been completed and renovations to its neighbor school, Centerville Middle School, are in the final stages. Students and faculty there are enjoying new and updated surroundings. New elementary school buildings in Mountville and Rohrerstown were completed and open to students in spring 2004.
The mission of the Hempfield School District community is to provide rigorous, relevant, responsive, and safe educational opportunities for students to become lifelong learners and contributing citizens in a diverse, global society. The varied student population is actively engaged in a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including athletic teams and the performing arts. Hempfield High School is committed to excellence, offering an extensive choice of electives, Honors, and AP courses. This commitment places Hempfield students in an ideal situation to be successful individuals, capable of meeting high expectations and serving as responsible citizens in our rapidly changing world.
