Residential Live-in Manager & Dickinson Public Safety
The Residential Manager oversees CPYB’s student housing to ensure a safe, supportive, and structured environment for all students. They supervise residential staff, enforce housing policies and curfews, monitor student safety and check-ins, and address concerns or incidents as they arise. The Residential Manager also serves as a key point of contact for students, families, and residential staff, helping ensure students have a positive and successful residential experience.
Academics
Students who wish to attend CarlisleAreaSchoolDistrict should contact the district‘s registrar for information regarding enrollment, transfer procedures, course selection, and academic planning. Students interested in online education are encouraged to enroll through their home school district‘s virtual learning program or explore a private online school of their choice.
Please note that enrolling in an online program offered by the Carlisle Area School District may result in significant tuition costs for students who are not district residents, as tuition is not covered by local property taxes.
