History

19th century

Before 1858, Slatington's "downtown" children attended school a mile and a half north of Borough of Slatington while Slatington's "downtown" children attended the Friedensville School, about half a mile south of the borough.

The first school within the present limits of Slatington was in an old stone factory in Lower Slatington in 1820 built by William Kern, but only operated for a year or two. The next school opened in 1858. At this time, a Welsh Church is shared and the Washington Township School Director hired a stone church building located on West Church Street in the area. The building was used for school purposes until 1868. A school was also operated for a while in the second story of the Lehigh Slate Company store.

From 1857 to 1866 Pdt. A.G. Hamed, pastor of the Presbyterian congregation, maintains a private school in the church. It was taught to part of the term by Solomon Berry of Maine. Other schools were held in private homes, but by 1868 most of them gave way to the Public School. In that year, a new school house was established. It is a substantial structure measuring 47 feet to 50 feet, two stories high and built at a cost of $ 7,000. Dedicated on Sunday, August 30, 1868, schools were divided into four departments: primary, secondary, grammar and high school. Registration hovered near the sign of 200 pupils. In 1875, Professor Frank J. Stettler, who led a grammar school for two years, became principal. He reassessed the schools, made better classifications, and introduced regular learning courses. At the moment, attendance is increasing rapidly and other elementary schools are opened at McDowell Hall in Slatington. A higher study was also introduced for advanced students in high school.

In 1879, the number of pupils increased substantially and more space was needed. As a result, an additional, two-tier high and 25 feet by 45 feet, built for $ 2,500, with rooms equipped for $ 1,000.

The Slatington High School became popular and was attended by non-resident students from Northampton and Carbon Counties, as well as from adjacent districts of Lehigh County. In 1883, the crowded school conditions demanded more space and other additions built up. In September, a total of eight schools were opened. Beginning in 1875, Professor Stettler held the Summer Normal Institute for thirteen years and during that time about 150 young men and women graduated as teachers. Most of them get positions in Lehigh and adjoining districts. The two-night school was held for several years, one attended by miners and factory men, the other by teachers and advanced students. In 1890, the school again became very crowded so more space was absolutely necessary. During the summer of 1890, a two-storey brick building, 50 feet by 50 feet, was erected on Fairview Avenue, in the southeast of Borough.

In 1892, the Council elected a teacher assistant in high school. However, elementary school buildings in the new building became too crowded, it was necessary to hire a teacher assistant who made 14 teachers overall. In 1897, the school decided to request a secondary school to cover a three-year period instead of a two-year program. This action defended class C in high school for 1897 and 1898, and thus no approval was held in 1897.

In 1896, the school, which was overcrowded for several years, reached the highest enrollment. In the spring of 1897, the School Board decided to build a new school. The capstone was laid on July 31, 1897 by R.W. Grand Lodge of F. and A.M. from the Great Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.

20th Century

The first action in the new century involved the 1905 development of Franklin School House in Emerald, Washington Township. Only one year later, another school, the Roosevelt Elementary School was built on Walnut Street within the Slatington area. At the turn of the new decade, development in other primary schools, now in Slatedale. In 1916, the construction of a new high school was completed at the corner of Second and Main Streets, taking place in old high school.

Just one year later, the fire destroyed the middle school, known as the Lincoln Building. School rebuilding was completed in 1918. Little happened to the school district for the next twenty years, until, in 1937, the new Smith Hall Athletics Complex was built, giving home courts to the Slatington Slater basketball team closer to their high house. school, located one block away.

On July 7, 1952, the merger between Slatington School District and Walnutport School District came true. The new school district is the Blue Valley Union School District. Washington Township School District remains as before. In early 1953, the construction of a new Walnutport Elementary School, located on Lincoln Avenue in the Walnutport area began. On August 20, 1953, a joint school agreement was made between the Blue Valley District School District and the Washington District School Township known as the Lehigh North Joint School. From 1953 to 1966, three Board meetings were held monthly; Blue Valley Union School Board, Washington Township School Board and North Lehigh School. The North Lehigh School Councils consist of representatives from two school district councils.

In 1954, two elementary schools in this district underwent a transformation. Additions were added to the Slatedale Building while Peters Elementary was built in Friedens. 1955 is considered the children of the last year of full school from Lynn City and Heidelberg can attend Slatington High School, due to the addition of the Northwestern Lehigh School District. The following year, the seniors at Lynn-Heidelberg University were given the ability to complete their final year of school at Slatington. By the end of the decade, in 1959, the construction of a new secondary school at 600 North Diamond Street was completed. The former high school building on Main Street is now a junior high school.

1966 was a busy year for Lehigh North schools. To start this year, the addition to Peters Elementary has been completed. On July 1, 1966, Blue Valley District School District and District School Township Washington merged to form the Northern Lehigh School District as we know it today. The district now consists of Boroughs Walnutport, Slatington, and Township of Washington; a total of 27 square miles (70 km2). On August 27, 1966, Franklin School House, located in Emerald, was sold.

The first elementary school in Maple Spring Acres, Slatington Elementary School and the adjacent Administration Office at 1201 Shadow Oaks Lane, was completed on October 11, 1973. Just two years later, due to the construction of a new primary school, Walnutport Elementary School, known as "The White House Building "sold and used Lincoln Elementary School destroyed.

The names of Slatington and Slatington SMAs were changed on June 11, 1980 to Lehigh Middle School and North Lehigh Middle School. On October 10 of the same year, Lincoln Elementary School and Smith Hall Athletic Complex properties were sold to the Lehigh County Housing Authority for $ 75,000.00. A year later, in May 1981, the Slatedale Elementary building was sold; from this point forward, the only elementary school in Washington Township is found in the Peters Elementary. The construction of North Lehigh High School just finished this year, just across the street from the former high school building at the old Alumni Football Field location. At this time, the student enrollment time for the district is 2,220, the highest record.

On 2 October 1982, the old junior high school on Jalan Utama and Jalan Dua was sold. The building was later destroyed in the early 2000s. Also this year, the former Athletic Complex of Smith Hall was destroyed to build housing for the elderly in Slatington. Renovation to a former high school in 600 North Diamond Street completed its transition to Junior High School.

In 1990, the construction of a new 50-foot x 50-foot space facility was completed; the facility is fully supported by the parents of Northern Lehigh Athletic Association. Since then, renovations have taken place. Two years later, the Peters Elementary building was renovated, adding another two-story wing. Registration for the district was slightly down from the 1981 record, at 2,158 students.

21st century

To begin the turn of the century, the addition to North Lehigh High School consists of two classrooms and a completed library; this helps accommodate Class 9 transfers from junior high. Renovations were also completed in Junior High School, which completed the transition to the Secondary School building.

Extensive work has been done to schools since 2001. Each school has been embellished with various mural and Lehigh North banners flying in their places. The renovation to Slatington Elementary was completed in the fall of 2011, transforming the school from an open concept building into a classroom setting. Only a year later, a synthetic grass field is fully installed at the newly renamed Bulldog Community Stadium, allowing soccer and field hockey games to be played in the stadium on a full-time basis along with football.
