St. Elizabeth Regional School, Pershing Boulevard, Fullerton, begins its 2017-18 school year Aug. 28, coinciding with Whitehall-Coplay School District’s opening of its schools on the campus off Mechanicsville Road.

Principal Linda Schiller said St. Elizabeth’s enrollment stands at 180 girls and boys, kindergarten through eighth grade, a bit higher than the past school year.

Registration for enrollment continues.

Nine full-time teachers and four part-time teachers comprise the staff.

Along with an emphasis on science, computer and religion courses, St. Elizabeth’s has a wide range of core studies.

There are 40 children enrolled in the pre-kindergarten program, which is moving from its basement quarters to the former nuns’ residence next to the main school building.

The school serves the parishes of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Roman Catholic Church, Fullerton; St. Mary’s Church of the Annunciation B.V.M., Catasauqua; and Immaculate Conception Church, St. John the Baptist Church and St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, all of Allentown.
