d Brown and 10 of his students during the Pontiac War which prompted the education of children to return to its previous method in which teachers taught in the homes of children whose parents could pay the tuition. In 1789 Brown's Mill School opened in a small, square log building with itinerant teachers instructing the area’s students. During the era of the one-room school, Antrim Township boasted 31, some of which remained in use until 1955. The passage of the School Act of 1934 gave incentives to Pennsylvania's citizens to improve their schools. Residents of the Browns Mill community raised enough money to replace the log building with a larger native stone building built in 1836 that would continue as a tuition school until it was incorporated into Antrim School District's system of free public schools. Students attended this school for the next 85 years until the Brown's Mill Consolidated School was built in 1921. Greencastle School District
In Greencastle the earliest schools were private, and parents paid tuition charges. The first public school was a one-story log building built in 1807 located on North Washington Street. Several other one-story log buildings were in operation as early as 1854. A new building was built on South Washington Street in 1868 to house the grade schools. In 1875 a three-year high school was added marking the beginning of secondary education in the community, allowing children to continue their education beyond the eighth grade. The first high school provided a three-year program with a college preparatory curriculum. Township students were admitted on a tuition basis and in 1910 it became a four-year program. In 1916 a two-story brick building was built to house elementary and high school students at the site of the 1868 building. The number of students doubled between 1916 and 1925 and in 1928 a five-room building was built. An auditorium and gymnasium were added in 1934. As each year passed, the need for more space grew along with increased enrollment and expanded curriculum. A home economics room was built in 1948 completing the Greencastle School System facilities. Antrim Township school directors and citizens planned to develop and construct new buildings and move towards a joint school arrangement with Greencastle. Greencastle-Antrim School District
In 1954 a union was formed to run the school operation of both Antrim and Greencastle, and on July 1, 1965 Greencastle and Antrim came together to form one school district.

Our own GA Unified Bocce alum (and alum dad) are REPRESENTING PENNSYLVANIA in the Special Olympics USA GAMES!!!!! We are cheering you on, Chris and Lee Kuhn!!!! GA-Proud!!!

For father-son bocce duo, Chris and Richmond, who goes by Lee, competing for Team PA at the Special Olympics USA Games in Minnesota is a dream.

With every passing week, excitement builds as the two get ready to travel to Minneapolis.

Lee has played bocce with Special Olympics for eight years, and his dad, Chris, became his unified partner only 2 years ago. Lee was adamant about saying he taught him how to play. Chris said, “He taught me all the tricks and tips.”

It’s easy to see that these two love playing together and learning from each other with every match.

Lee is a special teammate who always spreads kindness and helps others. Father, Chris says, “It doesn’t matter what sport he is competing in; he goes around and talks to other athletes and gives them advice. If they look like they aren’t having fun, Lee tries to make them laugh and cheer them up”.

After playing for eight years, Lee’s experience is invaluable and will be much needed on the court at USA games, but it’s his spirit as a teammate that could be even more beneficial.

They both have nothing but positive remarks about their time with Special Olympics. For anyone considering joining, Chris said, “As quickly as you can, come with an open mind and you will learn a lot from the athletes,” and Lee added, “You’ll have fun”.

The father-son duo will join a pair from Philadelphia to compete at the USA games and hopefully bring home the gold. Good Luck, Chris and Lee!

Fair is fair. ⚾
Greencastle-Antrim High School in PA State Rep. Chad Reichard's district ultimately prevailed in the PIAA 5A title game against DuBois Area High School, so I brought my fellow representative Scotty's Donuts under the terms of our wager.
The game was hard fought and lasted a whopping 14 innings. DuBois' boys had an incredibly impressive showing. The coaches and players should be quite proud of this season.
A donation is headed to Greencastle's local food bank.

Landon is okay!!! Good night for GA!!!

It was the top of the fourteenth inning of the PIAA 5A baseball championship, but the game was the last thing on anyone’s mind.

Greencastle-Antrim first baseman Landon Bishop, with his team then trailing by one run, had just tumbled into the camera pit on the first base line dugout, catching the ball for the second out but suffering a scary collision in the process.

As the junior was placed on a stability board and loaded into an ambulance, head coach Eric Shaner and Bishop’s parents received what he described as “good news” about the key Blue Devil’s health.

Bishop’s parents then turned to Shaner and told the coach, “Go win the freaking game.”
