The Punxsutawney Area School District (PASD) is a midsized, rural/suburban public school district located in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania and Indiana County, Pennsylvania. The Punxsutawney Area School District encompasses approximately 295 sqmi. The townships of Banks and North Mahoning as well as a portion of Canoe Township are part of the district's boundaries in Indiana County.
