Superintendent's Desk
![]() |
Welcome to the Rochester Area School District! Our school community is unique in that all of our students, from kindergarten through twelfth grade, are educated in the same K-12 complex. This setup allows our students and staff to develop close, interpersonal relationships. The RASD serves the children in Rochester Township, Rochester Borough and East Rochester. We have approximately 770 students in our district. |
We are fortunate to have dedicated faculty and staff members who challenge themselves to provide quality learning experiences for our students. Recently, our staff and community collaborated to revise our district’s comprehensive plan. This plan sets our course for the next six years for our school district. The Comprehensive Plan also guides the superintendent's goals. We have four main goals for our district.
