Students hosted their annual color run. Students pictured raised $100 or more for their school and got to participate in the VIP color blast to culminate the day's activities. A very big thank you to all of the adults, faculty, parents, and volunteers who helped make the color run successful, and a super shout out to all of the families and students who donated to this special day!
On Friday, May 15, multiple band students from Arts and Humanities, Heights Terrace, West Hazleton, Maple Manor, Valley, Freeland, Drums, and McAdoo were selected to perform in the PMEA District 9 Band Festival held at Riverside High School. They practiced all day and put on a concert in the evening. They performed with students from 30 other schools in Northeast PA. Congratulations to all students involved!
Students in Mrs. Kozlek's Web and Digital Design class had the opportunity to learn and engage with our District Webmaster and Digital Content Specialist. They gained a firsthand look at real- world applications of web designs and technology, exploring career pathways, day-to-day responsibilities, and what it really means to work in this fast-growing field!
Help ensure all children in the Hazleton Area have access to summer meals
Many children in the United States don’t have access to foods needed to thrive. Kids that miss out on proper nutrition during the summer are more likely to experience learning loss and develop long-term health consequences. The Seamless Summer Food Service Program is about serving kids across the community free lunch all summer long when they do not have access to school lunch. The program provides free, nutritious meals to children 18 years of age and under at approved sites in areas with high concentrations of low-income children.
We are asking for your help in spreading the word that meals will be available through the Hazleton Area School District from June 15, 2026-August 6, 2026. There will be no program on July 4, 2024. If you know of any locations that may be willing to operate as a site, please reach out to the Food Service Department at any time.

The Hazleton Area School District is pleased to announce an exciting new partnership with the Hazleton YMCA that will enhance our Pre-Kindergarten programming and expand opportunities for the youngest learners in our community.
For more than 25 years, our district has proudly supported early childhood education and has remained deeply committed to providing high-quality learning experiences that prepare our students for success in kindergarten and beyond. Building upon this strong tradition, we are excited to collaborate with an organization that shares our dedication to children, families, and the broader Hazleton community.
The Hazleton YMCA has a long and respected history of delivering exceptional early childhood and youth programming. Through this partnership, families will benefit from a program located in the heart of our city, making it easily accessible to many of the families we serve. In addition, the YMCA offers before- and after-school care options, which will provide valuable flexibility and support for working families.
Recently, the Hazleton YMCA completed a multi-million-dollar renovation to its Early Learning Center, transforming the facility into a vibrant and welcoming environment for children and families. The building now features modern learning spaces along with both indoor and outdoor playground facilities, creating safe, engaging areas where young learners can explore, play, and grow.
This partnership will allow our Pre-Kindergarten students to benefit from:
A centrally located facility that is easily accessible for families
Expanded programming options, like before and after care, STEM, sports, aquatics and water safety, and youth development, that support working parents and families
Modernized learning environments designed for young children
Access to safe indoor and outdoor recreational spaces that support physical development and social interaction
A community partnership dedicated to supporting the educational and developmental needs of children in Hazleton
Most importantly, this collaboration reflects our shared commitment to investing in early childhood education and ensuring that every young learner in our community has the opportunity to begin their educational journey in a supportive, enriching environment.
We are excited about the opportunities this partnership will bring to our students and families and look forward to working together with the Hazleton YMCA to continue strengthening early learning opportunities in our community.
