Upper Dauphin Area High School

Welcome to Upper Dauphin Area High School, located in beautiful Elizabethville in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

Upper Dauphin is a progressive high school of 400 students in grades nine through twelve. Here at UDA our students strive for excellence both in and out of the classroom.

Even though we are a small rural high school, we are able to offer an extensive number of electives to our students, including advanced placement and college in the classroom courses. Our staff is a truly dedicated staff that holds high expectations for the students and works vigorously to prepare our students for life after high school. We also offer many extracurricular activities, clubs, and a dynamic athletics program.

Upper Dauphin Area High School is much more than your typical high school. We are an educational institution dedicated to excellence and striving to develop students intellectually and socially as they are our greatest hope for the future.
