[edit] Split

Originally, at the time of its conception in 1891 East Stroudsburg Area School District consisted of only one high school and intermediate school. However, due to rapid growth in the area, the district split into two parts: South and North. They are split in terms of athletics and schools, but have the same district leaders. The South high school is located in East Stroudsburg Borough and the North high school is located in Lehman Township in Pike County.

[edit] Mascot

The mascot of East Stroudsburg Area School District was originally only the cavalier, or "cav" for short. However, because of the split, North's mascot became the timberwolf. The cavalier is now just the South's mascot.

[edit] Coverage

The school district consists of six municipalities in Monroe County and Pike County.

[edit] Construction Projects

There are two major constructions going on within East Stroudsburg School District.

[edit] High School Renovation

East Stroudsburg High School South is undergoing a massive renovation. They are changing the entire facade in the back and extending the school's boundaries. This project will make the high school more spacious, safe, and attractive.

[edit] New Elementary School

There is another project to build a new elementary school off of Route 447 in Smithfield Township. It will take some students from Smithfield and J. M. Hill Elementaries when finished. This will allow for less crowded classrooms in these two elementaries. Also, with more space, the fifth grade students at East Stroudsburg Elementary will be able to remain at J. M. Hill. J. T. Lambert Intermediate School will then have this classroom space as the building is on J. T. Lambert's school grounds.
