District Overview
The Elizabethtown Area School District, an award-winning public school system, is nestled in the picturesque setting of Lancaster County, just 20 miles from Harrisburg and Lancaster. It boasts easy accessibility via major roadways and the rail system.
Serving nearly 3,600 students, the District employs approximately 450 full and part-time staff across three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The curriculum is meticulously crafted and continually updated to ensure every student is equipped to thrive in a global community.
At the heart of our educational approach is the District's Life Ready Model, designed to align with the aspirations of our students. This model creates an environment rich with experiences and opportunities, preparing students for future success. Our mission is to equip each student with the knowledge, skills, social and emotional resilience, and civic awareness needed to pursue one of the following paths upon graduation:
- Obtain a career that pays a livable wage.
- Attend a post-secondary institution to further their education.
- Seek an opportunity in our nation's armed forces.
