🎉 CASA is thrilled to announce our 2027 Musical! We are excited to be the first school in the Harrisburg region to present THE PROM: SCHOOL EDITION!

Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue… and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to make a difference, the Broadway stars team up with the courageous student, leading to a transformation that brings everyone together in the name of love and acceptance.

Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, THE PROM expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.

SAVE THE DATE! February 26-28, 2027 at Penn State Harrisburg!

Students and families were back in the building, picking up schedules, meeting teachers, checking out classrooms, and reconnecting with friends and familiar faces. It was good to have everyone back in the halls again.

Here’s to a great school year! We’re looking forward to a great school year ahead. See you on Tuesday!

This summer, more than 30 CASA students embarked on an unforgettable Education First tour of Greece, where history, culture, and learning came to life.

From walking in the footsteps of the ancient Greeks at the Acropolis to exploring the vibrant streets of the Plaka district, students experienced the rich history of Greece firsthand. They visited Delphi, Epidaurus, Cape Sounion, and the Ancient Olympic Stadium while discovering how Greek mythology continues to influence modern medicine, politics, and philosophy.

The adventure also included sailing through the beautiful islands of the Saronic Gulf and enjoying a traditional Greek evening filled with new friendships, delicious feta, and, of course, the famous plate-smashing tradition.

What an incredible opportunity to learn beyond the classroom and create memories that will last a lifetime. Opa! 🇬🇷
