Why Southern Tioga?


The Southern Tioga School District is a hidden gem in the heart of north-central Pennsylvania, offering a perfect blend of rural charm and modern convenience.

Spanning 485 square miles across southeastern Tioga and northeastern Lycoming Counties, our district is home to thriving communities like Blossburg, with its rich history and welcoming atmosphere, the stunning landscapes and peaceful farmlands of Liberty, and the vibrant college town of Mansfield, home to the Commonwealth University.

Our residents enjoy easy access to essential services, including healthcare and professional resources, while higher education opportunities are right at our doorstep with Commonwealth University and Pennsylvania College of Technology. The district's prime location also puts us just a short drive from city life of Corning and Elmira, New York, and Williamsport, Pennsylvania, making it an ideal place to call home.
