Senior Residents<br />
Have V.I.P. Status<br />
Each year we are pleased to acknowledge and thank<br />
senior residents for their contributions to our educational<br />
system. Our Senior VIP (Very Important Person)<br />
community members cheer in our stadiums, encourage<br />
our youth, and support our educational processes in a<br />
myriad of ways. The VIP program passes are one way we<br />
try to accomplish that goal. Seniors enjoy free admission<br />
to all school-related athletic events. The only exceptions<br />
are hockey games played at the Cambria County War<br />
Memorial and the annual musical. If you are a senior<br />
resident, age 62 or older, you are eligible for a VIP pass.<br />
To obtain yours, please contact the district office at<br />
