There's a reason why high school graduation rates in the Penn's Northeast region are above the state and national averages.

All of us who live and work here understand that the area's quality of life walks hand-in-hand with the quality of schooling we provide our children. It should come as no surprise, then, that education is looked upon as essential to progress and the key to a successful and prosperous future.

Public, private or parochial… elementary or secondary… all of our schools share the common goal of providing children and young adults with a first-rate education that places a strong emphasis on meeting the needs of individual students. Our schools allow students to explore interests and develop skills through comprehensive programs designed to push them towards realizing their fullest potential.

There are numerous elementary and secondary education options available to residents of the Penn's Northeast region. For more information, contact local county Industrial Development Corporations.

And remember, the Penn's Northeast region consists of the following areas: the Berwick Region in Columbia County, the Forest City Region in Susquehanna County, and Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe and Wayne Counties.
