We’re excited to share this spotlight on Francesca Barley ✨
Francesca’s commitment to creating environments where students feel safe, supported, and challenged aligns closely with the values we hold at ETHOS. Her focus on student achievement, mental health, and access to meaningful opportunities—including advanced coursework, career and technical education, and the arts—reflects the kind of thoughtful, student-centered leadership that makes a real difference.
With a professional background as a therapist and mental health liaison, Francesca brings an informed, compassionate perspective to her role as School Board President. And a fun fact we love—she’s traveled to more than 20 countries and even lived in Austria for a time!
We’re proud to see leaders in our community championing mental health, education, and student wellbeing. 💙
Francesca facilitates a tele-health adolescent IOP for those throughout the state of Pennsylvania. For more information about Francesca's group, please visit https://www.ethostreatment.com/team/francesca-barley-ms/
