Superintendent's Welcome
Welcome to the South Butler County School District.
Enjoy and navigate our website. You will learn more about our philosophy, our students, our teachers and our buildings. In our community, a high value is placed on education, and our district strives continually to expand and improve learning opportunities for our children. Our supportive Board of School Directors and a dedicated staff work together to provide excellent educational programs for our students.
Our school district serves students in the townships of Clinton, Jefferson, Penn and Winfield, along with Saxonburg Borough in Southern Butler County. Four schools make up the school district - Knoch High School (9-12), Knoch Middle School (6-8), South Butler Intermediate Elementary School (4-5) and South Butler Primary School (K-3). These buildings house approximate 2,850 students of our community and employs 279 people: 16 administrative/management personnel, 183 teachers, and 80 support staff.
South Butler County is home to approximately 20,000 residents who enjoy 100 square miles of rural living. The close proximity to suburban areas such as Butler (15 minutes) and Pittsburgh (40 minutes) give residents a “best of both worlds” to live, work and raise their families. Major highways and interstates such as PA Routes 8, 28, 356 and 228, US Route 422 and Interstates 76 and 79 provide convenient travel access.
If you need additional information not provided, do not hesitate to e-mail a member of the administrative team. We are always delighted to receive feedback and questions.
It is our hope that the South Butler County School District website will keep you informed of the many exciting events and activities at all our schools. We strive to keep our students at the head of the class in academics, performing arts, and athletics. Thank you for visiting our school district.
