The Hazleton Area School District (HASD) serves a dynamic and diverse educational community that spans urban, suburban, and rural regions across 16 municipalities. While the majority of the District lies within Luzerne County, its 256-square-mile footprint also includes portions of Carbon and Schuylkill Counties in northeastern Pennsylvania. The Districtās strategic location at the crossroads of Interstates 80 and 81, with easy access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike, connects it to a civilian labor force of nearly 500,000. The presence of four major industrial parks (Humboldt, Valmont, McAdoo, and the CAN DO Corporate Center) supports regional economic growth and employment opportunities.
The Hazleton Area School District embraces an inclusive approach to teaching and learning, recognizing and valuing individual differences and the unique worth of each student. All students, including those newly enrolled, are provided opportunities to learn in the least restrictive environment, supported by supplemental aids and services. This commitment ensures equitable access to the general curriculum and empowers every student to reach their full potential.
