#CelebrateASD 2018-2019
Posted on 04/01/2019
Each week the Allentown School District will profile one student, teacher or family that represents the diversity within our District and city. Through a partnership with the United Way and Upside Allentown, a professional photographer was able to capture stunning images that portray various representatives of our District in their schools.
The project aimed to capture individuals who are committed to excellence in the Allentown School District. Schools were asked to identify those in their buildings who take action to promote the best the Allentown School District has to offer and inspire others in and outside of their school building.
Help us #CelebrateASD each week by sharing these images on your preferred social platform!

"My adult life has been working within the district – it’s my passion and not just a career or a job. I’m able to make that impact – I was who these kids are. My mother was an immigrant and I experienced transiency when I was a student within the district – my connection to students is authentic because of this. I think that some days are harder than others. We have our qualities of leadership and that leads to understanding what my ultimate purpose is here. I think of that. What can I do for them – not physically or just simply solving their problems – how can I help them be inspired to see the difference they can make?"
