A message from the Superintendent of Schools
Dear Students, Parents/Guardians, Employees, & Northwestern Lehigh Community ~
During my visits, it has been great to see our classrooms full of engaged learners, students busy participating in activities and active on the sports fields. Our students continue to amaze me with their kindness, academic rigor, and talents in the classroom and on the field or stage.
Our dedicated staff continues to educate and support students every day. As we approach time for conferences, please make an appointment with your child's teacher, if you have not done so already. In partnership with you is how we do our best work in education.
Jennifer L. Holman, Superintendent of Schools
