Hello and Happy October! My name is Kelley Simone, and I am the proud principal of Upper Darby HS. Every day I come to school hopeful and full of excitement.  Our staff and students are doing fantastic work in and outside of the classroom.  Our instructional focus continues to be learning targets and increased student engagement.  We are committed to the equity work we are doing as part of the district's five-year equity plan.  

This month we are honoring Breast Cancer Awareness and wearing pink every Friday of the month! 

We are also participating in different activities for Red Ribbon Week. 

• Red Ribbon Week runs 10/23-10/30.

• Each weekday we will post 1 new fact about drugs/alcohol/tobacco.

• On Wednesday, 10/30, there will be a “quiz” of 5 questions. 

• If you get all 5 questions correct, you will be entered into a drawing for a free pizza lunch with 2 friends.

• The homeroom with the highest participation and the highest percentage correct on the quiz will also receive a special prize.

• We showed a Kick-off video clip yesterday for PBIS for our lesson of the week.
