Overview
Eisenhower Science and Technology Leadership Academy (ESTLA) is located in the Municipality of Norristown. Originally opened as a high school in 1937, ESTLA remained a high school until 1980. In 1980, it was converted to a Junior High School and remained as such until 1983. Since 1983, ESTLA has operated as a middle school serving grades 6-8 students. Currently, Eisenhower Science and Technology Leadership Academy services grades 5-8 students. ESTLA is a state of the art building that boasts a large lobby area and modern auditorium. One cannot help but notice the painted ceiling and copper trim throughout the lobby area.
Eisenhower Science and Technology Leadership Academy is a learning community filled with many opportunities for students to experience intellectual and social growth as they begin their adolescent years. The teachers at Eisenhower structure lessons to meet the needs of young adolescents and provide a curriculum that is relevant, challenging, integrative, and exploratory. As one enters the school, they are greeted with the school motto, Enter to Learn, Exit to Serve. This summarizes the goal of ESTLA.
