Uplinger remains optimistic. “Our responsibility is to make sure students not only want to learn but have the environment and support to succeed,” he says. “We’ll keep pushing forward to give them the best opportunities possible.” The story of Hazleton Area School District is one of growth, resilience, and innovation. From major facility expansions to new pathways in teaching, technology, and career tech, the district is preparing its students to succeed in an increasingly complex world. With a commitment to safety, strong community engagement, and a vision centered on students, Hazleton is not only meeting the challenges of today but also building the foundation for tomorrow. As Uplinger sums it up: “The heart of our work is our students. If we can keep them at the center of every decision, we’ll continue to grow stronger as a district and as a community.” 219 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 10 HAZLETON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
