School Overview

Shikellamy High School sits in Sunbury, a small river city at the confluence of the North and West Branches of the Susquehanna — the kind of place where community ties run deep and Friday night football still brings the whole town together. The school stands out notably in science, which makes it a solid fit for families with kids who lean toward hands-on, technical, or STEM-oriented learning. Families rooted in Central Pennsylvania's rural-suburban lifestyle, who value a close-knit school culture over big-district anonymity, tend to find a comfortable home here.
