Northampton Area School District
The 2026-27 school year is in full swing in the Northampton Area School District, which serves Northampton Borough, Lehigh Township, Allen Township, and surrounding communities. Fall is a busy stretch for the Konkrete Kids: varsity football hosts Bethlehem Liberty on Saturday, September 12 and Whitehall on Saturday, September 19, and boys soccer, field hockey, cross country, volleyball, and varsity golf all run through the month. The most reliable place for game dates, start times, and venue changes is the district athletics site at nasdathletics.org.
This is also the first school year with the district's elementary facilities realignment in place: the new East Allen Elementary is open, Moore Elementary has closed, and attendance boundary changes affect thousands of students. Families new to the area should confirm their assigned school on the district site at nasdschools.org. For back-to-school nights, booster events, and district announcements, that same site's live feed is the place to watch.
