We are thrilled to celebrate the Allentown School District as the recipient of the 2025 Excellence in Business – Large Business Award, presented to Dr. Carol D. Birks and the entire school community on June 11th at Lehigh Country Club!
This prestigious honor recognizes organizations that exemplify visionary leadership, deep-rooted commitment, and meaningful impact in the Lehigh Valley — and Allentown School District delivers on all fronts.
As the third-largest urban school district in Pennsylvania, ASD serves over 16,700 students across 24 schools, championing a mission to ignite a passion for learning and uplift every child in their care. Their bold and future-focused strategic plan, Lighting the Way: A Blueprint for Innovation and Excellence 2030, is transforming education in our region — with a focus on academic excellence, whole-child development, and real-world opportunities that prepare students for college, careers, and life.
ASD’s vision is grounded in community, equity, and excellence. From classrooms to boardrooms, this district is building a stronger Allentown — one student, one teacher, one family at a time.
Please join us in celebrating the Allentown School District, a shining example of what it means to lead with purpose, passion, and progress. Congratulations to the entire ASD team on this incredible achievement — and thank you for lighting the way for generations to come!
