Farewell to Keith Valley and the Old HHHS:
Join us for a special "Farewell to the Old Keith Valley" Open House on Saturday, June 14th from 11AM to 6PM. We are looking forward to celebrating a building that has served as Keith Valley, as well as Hatboro-Horsham High School. The halls that have shaped generations of students will soon be just memories as we prepare to say goodbye to our beloved Keith Valley Middle School building. This is your chance to walk those familiar corridors one last time, peek into your old classrooms, and reconnect with the place where so many friendships and memories were created. Whether you graduated decades ago or just a few years back, come share your stories, reconnect, and celebrate the legacy of this special place. Open house style - drop in anytime between 11AM and 6PM. Everyone is welcome!
With the forecast calling for unfavorable weather, we’ve made the tough decision to cancel tomorrow’s Special Olympics (May 21) to keep everyone safe. While we can’t reschedule, we’re excited to celebrate our incredible HHSD athletes with a special gathering this Thursday at the High School.
Thank you all for your understanding and continued support.
To enhance the safety of our students and address reckless driving near school buses, Hatboro-Horsham School District has partnered with BusPatrol and local law enforcement to launch a new School Bus Safety Program. This program will go live on June 1, 2025, in accordance with Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code § 3345.
All district buses will be equipped with advanced cameras designed to prevent the dangerous and illegal passing of stopped school buses, a violation that occurs over 43 million times each year across the country. In collaboration with BusPatrol and local law enforcement, the district will utilize automated technology to enforce Pennsylvania’s school bus safety laws. Each potential violation will be reviewed before a $300 citation is issued.
Please remember: when a school bus flashes its lights and extends its stop arm, all vehicles must stop at least 10 feet away from the bus. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of our students.
Today is National Speech-Language Pathologist Day. We celebrate our amazing HHSD Speech-Language Pathologists who help our students find their voices and succeed. Thank you for your dedication and the life-changing impact you make every day.
Happy Mother’s Day from HHSD!

Acclaimed Composer Tyler Arcari Visits Keith Valley
Keith Valley recently welcomed composer Tyler Arcari for a special Q&A session with 7th and 8th-grade Performing Arts students. They had the opportunity to engage with the renowned musician, discussing composition techniques and, of course, video games.
Arcari has performed works around the world and is known for creating music for developing musicians. He is a former middle and high school teacher and currently serves as the Director of Music Production and Editing at several prestigious publishing companies, including Excelcia Music Publishing.
This visit offered students valuable insights into music careers and composition from an industry professional.

🧦 CELEBRATING WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY 🧦
What an incredible day we had yesterday celebrating World Down Syndrome Day at HHSD! Our amazing students and staff made the "Rock Your Socks" event a tremendous success.
The students and staff embraced this special day by creating colorful posters that highlighted the importance of World Down Syndrome Day. They hosted a fun sock sale, with proceeds supporting Down Syndrome awareness, and partnered with Simmons to assist with their pretzel sale fundraiser. They also walked around the high school and KV, capturing photos with everyone showing off their wildly mismatched socks!
Thank you to all our students and staff who participated and to everyone who showed their support by wearing their brightest, most colorful mismatched socks.
Remember, World Down Syndrome Day isn't just about one day—it's about fostering a more inclusive community every day.
STEM Week Continues...
In Robotics, students design, build, and program autonomous systems that respond to real-world inputs. These intricate creations demonstrate their mastery of mechanical design, electronics, and computer programming principles.
Architecture 1 students develop innovative structural designs, carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with practical functionality. Their detailed models and blueprints showcase spatial reasoning and design thinking as they create spaces that solve specific problems.
Engineering Drawing & Design students are exercising their creativity through free design projects this semester. With professional-grade tools and software, they're transforming conceptual ideas into precisely rendered technical drawings and 3D models ready for production.
STEM Week gives us the perfect opportunity to showcase the incredible things happening at HHSD. These projects represent just a glimpse of the innovation, creativity, and technical skills our students demonstrate every day. We're proud to be developing the next generation of problem-solvers, creators, and engineers who will shape our future.
STEM Week continues with a visit to Keith Valley Middle School's STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) classes.
6th-grade budding engineers are designing and testing roller coaster prototypes, applying physics concepts while developing creative solutions to complex design challenges.
In 7th grade, students are designing prototypes of sustainable shoes, combining environmental consciousness with practical design principles to reimagine footwear for a greener future.
Meanwhile, our 8th graders are investigating technology evolution through time, with teams researching how cars and phones have transformed through decades of innovation. Students are utilizing Canva to create compelling visual presentations of their findings.
Across all projects, students are utilizing our 3D printers to develop accurate prototypes, bringing their ideas from digital designs to tangible models they can test and refine.
