Hello Mounts Community! My name is Dr. Heidi A. Rochlin, and I am honored to be leading the Antietam School District. The ASD is a unique district, in that it fosters not only the academic success of all students, but the social-emotional growth and development that is so necessary as students navigate their K-12 journeys.
I began my career as a music teacher in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, after earning a Bachelor of Music degree in Trumpet Performance from Temple University. From there, after earning Master’s degrees in both Mathematics and Education, from Drexel University, I moved into a teaching position in the School District of Philadelphia, where I taught both music and mathematics, at all levels K-12, in various schools. Following my tenure in the School District of Philadelphia, and after earning my Principal’s Certification and a second master’s degree from Cabrini University, I moved on to the Exeter School District as the district’s STEM Coordinator. Shortly after, I secured a position in the Spring-Ford Area School District as a Curriculum Supervisor and Cyber Principal. At this time, I also earned my Educational Doctorate and Superintendent’s Letter of Eligibility from Drexel University. Now, I am proud to serve the Antietam School District as Superintendent.
I take the idea of community very seriously, and am fully invested here at Antietam. I live in the Mt. Penn borough with my husband, Al, and our five children, who all attend Antietam schools. We also have a cat, Lindsay (who drives me crazy)! In my free time, I love spending time with my family, making music, and going out to eat at all of the amazing local restaurants we have here in Reading!
Antietam – I am here for you. And don’t forget: Mounts Climb Together!
