Lackawanna City School District

Welcome

KorachDear Lackawanna Residents,
 
The children and citizens of Lackawanna have always deserved the best in education and administration. Now more than ever, given the changing social and economic conditions influencing all of us, it is imperative that we seek to reshape and improve our educational institutions to benefit our students and the community.
 
Having been a teacher and administrator in the Lackawanna City School District for the past thirty-seven years, I know we have the talented educators who can affect this positive change.  As a native Lackawannan, I have a personal commitment to make this happen for our School District and our City.
 
Together with the Board of Education, Administration, Faculty and Staff of the Lackawanna City School District, I am looking forward to a successful and educational 2011-2012 school year for all. 
 
Thank you for your continued support of the Lackawanna City School District.
 
Sincerely,
 
Nicholas D. Korach
Superintendent of Schools
