Empowering every support professional to thrive—so every student can succeed.

We envision a future where all education support professionals in the Keystone Central School District are respected, well-supported, and fully empowered to contribute to student achievement and school success.

Since its official certification on June 30, 1980, the Keystone Central Education Support Professionals (KCESP) has been the voice for the invaluable support staff within the Keystone Central School District. Initially known as the Keystone Central School Service Personnel Association before its 2005 name change, KCESP represents essential non-teaching employees like paraprofessionals, custodians, and food service workers. As a proud part of the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA), KCESP works tirelessly to advocate for fair wages, safe workplaces, professional respect, and career advancement, all of which are crucial to fostering a thriving educational environment and ensuring student success.
