The John T. Lambert Intermediate School was built between 1990-92. It opened in September of 1992. The 6th grade came from North Courtland Elementary Center and the 7th and 8th grade both came from the J. S. Bunnel School. As the district population continued to grow, the Pods were built between 1997-98 opening in November of 1998. It housed a 7th grade and 6th grade team. In the summer of 2003, fifth grade classes at North Courtland Elementary Center were moved to the Pods and it was renamed to East Stroudsburg Elementary School. There are about 1,113 students, 150 faculty members, and 3 administrators in the JTL complex. Before the district split in 2000, there were more than 1,700 students in the school.
Our school is very proud of our excellence in academics, evergrowing athletic programs, and cultural performing arts. We are also very proud of the community service we participate in. In the past we've made teddy bears and pillows for children who lost parents during 9/11, we have contributed to numerous charities, such as Angel's Closet, through the work of Student Government and SASA clubs, and we utilize local business such as Shawnee Mountain with our ski program. We are a school which embraces our diversity and uniqueness in the Pocono Mountains.
Team work is a very important part of JTL. Our hard work, dedication, and communication with residents in East Stroudsburg makes us a community oriented school. Thankfully for our wonderful faculty and students, our school is standing strong and will continue to stay that way for years to come.to see the many different character skills we build at JTL visit The National Character Education Partenership site, www.character.org.
