Best & Brightest: Sieta Achampong landed right where she wanted to be, making a difference for Harrisburg students

Sieta Achampong is director of high schools at Harrisburg School District. February 12, 2021. Dan Gleiter | dgleiter@pennlive.comEditor’s note: To mark the 30th anniversary of PennLive’s and The Patriot-News’ Best and Brightest awards, PennLive took some time to catch up with past recipients to see where they are today. This is one in a series of five profiles.

She told the Patriot-News as much in 1997 when she was named Best and Brightest after graduating as one of the top five students in her class with a grade-point average of 4.22. Achampong also served as student council president and the student representative to the school board. As it turned out, she taught English, earned a PhD and eventually became principal of Harrisburg’s Sci Tech campus.

High School students march for abortions rightsLocal High School students took a stand in the debate over abortion rights and whether the Supreme Court should strike down the Court’s earlier ruling that made many abortions legal. Did anybody interview any of them? Yeah. I’m sure they all walked out for this cause 🤣. We had a walk out for teachers in high school. Pretty much everyone used it as an excuse to ditch class all day. None of the coverage addressed the opposition which is unfortunate since that would facilitate debate. My daughter posted signs underneath their signs and in 2 hours, they had all been ripped down. Ahhh, the tolerance and civility of the Left, bless their hearts.
