The Southern Lehigh School District plays a significant role in the community. The schools encourage parents, guardians, and residents to participate in many ways, including classroom visitations, open houses, community projects, musical and dramatic performances, and athletic competitions. A concerted and coordinated effort is made by the schools and the community to work closely together to provide children with multifaceted opportunities.
As the community reflects its values in its strong support of quality education for its children, the school district in turn serves the community in providing the vehicle for educational excellence.
