A letter to the Minersville community from Dr. Carl McBreen (Please click here)

The Minersville School District is in the process of installing the School Gate Guardian Visitor System in all of our buildings.  This system will better allow us to manage visitors coming and going from the school buildings, with the added feature of checking for known offenders, and unwanted visitors.  Installation has been completed at the High School and a driver’s license will be required each time you enter the building, regardless of the reason for your visit.
