The Greater Nanticoke Area School System.
It has been said that a child may begin and end school and college on the same street in Nanticoke. We begin with the Lincoln Elementary, Kennedy Elementary, KM Smith Elementary, the Nanticoke Middle School, and John S. Fine Senior High School. We may then move a short distance on Kosciuszko Street to attend the Luzerne County Community College.

******************************************************

The five Roman Catholic Parishes of Greater Nanticoke operated the K-8 Pope John Paul II Elementary School system which was Middle States Accredited. It had 360 students at three locations in the city.  Pope John Paul II made a significant impact on the quality of education within the community before its closure by the Scranton Dioceses.

Pictures of some of the schools may be found by pointing to the picture page. More school photo's are coming soon.
