Pennsbury School District Superintendent Thomas A. Smith announced that the school day at Pennsbury High School will begin at 8 a.m. instead of the current 7:20 a.m. beginning with the 2025-2026 school year. Smith cited “an increasing body of research” that recommends a later school start-time for adolescents. Middle school times “will move up slightly,” according to Smith, but elementary school start times will not change. The district will need to make adjustments to the transportation schedule, after-school activities and the overall schedule in the 17 months leading up to the change. The district will also hold informational sessions on the changes and “anticipated benefits,” he said.
