Congratulations to our December You Are The Light! recipients of the 2023-2024 school year!

On Wednesday, January 17, 2024, more than 50 members of our learning community were recognized for their contributions to their school and classrooms as Trendsetters, Classroom/Community Catalysts, or Quiet Heroes.

We also recognized William Allen High School Alumni Paul Williams, for his dedication and commitment to Allentown students.

Attendees were treated to fantastic performances by the William Allen High School Soul Dance Club, NJROTC, and Union Terrace Elementary School Dance Team!

On Tuesday, February 6, 2024, at 6:30 p.m., the City of Allentown and the Allentown School District will co-host a Community Forum to gain input from students, staff, families, and neighboring residents on plans for the future development of Andre Reed Park. 

The Forum will take place at Dieruff High School Mellinger Cafeteria. Community members can enter through Door 33 directly off of Andre Reed Way. 

The Allentown School District’s Learning Community and neighboring residents are invited to the Forum to collaborate to create a shared vision that outlines how Andre Reed Park can be reimagined to benefit Louis E. Dieruff High School and the surrounding neighborhood.

January is School Director Recognition Month! Our School Board of Directors are a vital part of our learning community.

They are committed individuals who serve the Allentown students, staff, and families. In honor of their public service, we encourage you to congratulate, support, and show appreciation to your school directors!

All month long, we have profiled our individual School Board Directors on social media, so our community can get to know them better! 

The Allentown School District is excited to announce that The GIANT Company is once again partnering with our Child Nutrition Services Department to help support our students facing food insecurity.

Our district looks forward to partnering with The GIANT Company to fight childhood hunger.  Please join the Allentown School District in supporting and advocating for this initiative to help ensure no child in our district experiences hunger at school or at home.
