UPDATE: District XI School Districts Join "Stadium Lighting" Campaign

In an update from a previous story, several more Schuylkill County School Districts have joined the campaign to light their stadium lights on Friday nights.

In a press release from District XI, the PIAA, and the Schuylkill League, it was announced that 29 school districts across the District will light up their stadium between the hours of 7:00pm and 9:00pm to honor the Class of 2020 and to support nurses, doctors, and first responders.

In Schuylkill County and Schuylkill League, those districts include:
  • Blue Mountain
  • Lehighton
  • Mahanoy Area
  • Minersville
  • North Schuylkill
  • Panther Valley
  • Pine Grove
  • Schuylkill Haven
  • Shenandoah Valley
  • Tamaqua
NOTE:  North Schuylkill's event will be altered slightly and will only be lighting their lights for 20 minutes and 20 seconds.
