Penn State World Campus Earns No. 1 Rankings for Veterans

Penn State World Campus was named Pennsylvania's top institution for veterans and service members for a third consecutive year. The recognition comes from Military Times' 2026 Best for Vets: Colleges rankings, released Nov. 9. World Campus also ranked No. 1 among institutions in the Mid-Atlantic region, up from third in 2025, and ranked No. 19 among 370 colleges and universities nationwide, including traditional and hybrid schools. Among 24 colleges, the university also ranked No. 1 in the Military Times' online category for the second consecutive year. The rankings recognize institutions based on how well they serve military students, including active-duty service members, veterans, reservists, National Guard members and military spouses. Military-connected students account for roughly one in five Penn State World Campus graduates. So far this year, 101 military-connected Pennsylvanians have earned degrees through the online campus, including 11 from Centre County. "Many of our military students live and work right here in Pennsylvania, and the Commonwealth is stronger when they can keep building their careers here,” Karen Pollack, interim vice provost for online education at Penn State, said in a statement. “A National Guard member in Pittsburgh and a veteran in Philadelphia can earn the same Penn State degree

Exclusive: Shanksville school secretary receives state award

Gail Edwards, elementary secretary at Shanksville-Stonycreek Elementary School, is one of two school employees recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Education with the 2027 Pennsylvania Recognizing Inspiring School Employees (RISE) Award for exceptional contributions to school and community. BillieJo Pecht, alternative education paraprofessional at Penns Valley Jr./Sr. High School in the Penns Valley Area School District, is the second honoree for 2027. Edwards said she didn’t know she was nominated. "It was a surprise," Edwards said. "Over the summer I got an email that said I was selected to move on in the process." Edwards was interviewed by PDE staff, and the school submitted five staff letters of support along with three letters from parents. Edwards said the letters from students’ families were especially meaningful. What is the RISE Award? The RISE Award was established by Congress in 2019 and is administered by the U.S. Department of Education. It honors a school employee who provides exemplary service to students in pre-kindergarten through high school. The RISE award is the equivalent of the PA Teacher of the Year award for nonteaching school employees. More: Looking for a place to get a delicious meal this Thanksgiving?

PA high schools do not need a phone ban

Pennsylvania’s statewide phone ban is claimed to help reduce student distraction and help students improve their grades. Many adults believe phones interfere with learning, but phones don’t solve the full issue. Lawmakers are focusing on the wrong problem or purposefully blaming phones as an easy way out so it looks like they’re doing something. All they are doing is putting band-aids on bullet holes. It might cover the issues, but it doesn’t repair the damage left underneath.
