Principal

From the entire Bucher staff, we want to thank you for visiting our Manheim Township and Bucher Elementary Webpage, home of the Bucher Bears! It is both an honor and a privilege to serve the students, teachers, and families of Bucher.  As many of you know, I served as a Bucher teacher for eight years teaching 4th and 5th grade before spending two years as an assistant principal at Landis Run Intermediate School.  The 2025-2026 school year will be my 11th year as Bucher Principal.

At Bucher, we realize the impact our school can have on the community around us. We value both academic and social-emotional learning. Our teachers are committed to meeting students where they are and differentiating their instruction to best meet their needs. Learning is student-centered and we believe in shared responsibility for the success of our students. Students are actively learning and practicing positive behavior choices built around our core of character traits: respect, responsibility, and safety.

We value the school-home connection and hope to see you volunteering in classrooms and an active participant in our PTO with various events throughout the year. As your child progresses through their academic journey, please feel comfortable communicating with our outstanding teachers and staff or myself if we can be of any assistance.

Thank you for your trust and partnership as we work together this year!  If you have any questions that I can answer now, feel free to reach out to me via email at martinan@mtwp.net or call us at Bucher 717-569-4291.

Thank you!
Dr. Andy Martin
Bucher Principal
