The School District has added a new feature to our website.  It is called Jobline.  Jobline is located as a link on the Alumni Association webpage.  The intent of this new service is to enable local employers who are seeking highly qualified job candidates to post their current job openings.  There are several hundred people from all over the country and the world who visit our website each day.  The target audience for this service is alumni who may be looking to return to the Titusville area and are looking for employment opportunities.

Business and Industry in our area may also wish to take advantage the Jobline service in order to fill their need for highly skilled workers, who may not be readily available and living in the area right now. 

Any person who registered as a member of the School District website may post a job opening.  Once the information has been submitted it will be reviewed by School District officials and if approved will then be posted on Jobline.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Terry Kerr, Assistant Superintendent of Schools at the District office.

Ralph H. Hargest Jr., 68, of 515 W. Oak St., Titusville, passed away Monday morning, July 7, 2008, at his residence.

Ralph was born Nov. 18, 1939, in Pittsburgh, a son of the late Ralph H. Sr. and Ella Mae Farmerie Hargest. He graduated from Avalon High School in Pittsburgh, class of 1958. He graduated in 1967 from Edinboro State College with a bachelor's degree in art education and added advanced degrees in the years that followed.  

He taught one year at Fort LeBoeuf High School, then taught for 31 years at Titusville Senior High School, retiring in 1999.

One of his passions was constructing the Titusville High School's Prom each spring. His prom designs went beyond crepe paper and streamers, constructing prom designs that ran from a replica of the Titanic to a large geodesic dome, based on the work of Sir Buckminster Fuller. People traveled from all over the area to see what Ralph would come up with next.  His creativity inspired a generation of Titusville art students.

His work with photogrpahy was a major part of his adult life, and many brides and grooms came to appreciate his work.

Ralph was a veteran, having served in the United States Marine Corps.  He entered the service on August 14, 1958, at Pittsburgh.  He was honorably discharged on August 13, 1962, at Jacksonville, North Carolina, with rank of corporal. 

Ralph was a member of St. Titus Church.  He was also a member of the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) and of the National Education Association (NEA).  In addition to his love for art, he enjoyed sailing.
