Cetronia Elementary School

Cetronia Elementary School is an elementary school in Allentown, Pennsylvania.^[1] It was first named the James W. Good Grade School and dedicated in September, 1930. In 1961 an addition was added to the east side of the building. The structure was renamed Cetronia reflecting the geographic area in which it was located. Another addition, including a spacious gymnasium, was added in 1994 and re-dedicated in June, 1995. Cetronia now encompasses 26 classrooms as well as a library, choral and instrumental room, computer room, faculty facility, art room, office complex, renovated cafeteria and kitchen, and small group instructional facilities. Identified as a national blue ribbon school during the 1998-1999 school year.^[1] Representatives were honored at a ceremony in Washington, DC, where they received a plaque and flag. Cetronia is home of the "Hedgehogs" and as of February 2009, the current enrollment is 642 students.
