About Mount Nittany
Welcome to Mount Nittany Elementary, home of the Lion Cub! Our motto is “Beat Yesterday.” We follow our schoolwide positive behavior support program STAR (Show Kindness, Take Responsibility, Act Safely, Ready to Learn). Fun facts: We host a Lit Fest each year, we are about to embark on a major renovation project that will add much needed space, and we were the SCASD intramural volleyball champs the last three years in a row.
