About

The history of Macungie Elementary School dates back to 1840, when a stone building was purchased at 28 North Church Street in Millerstown, as Macungie was referred to at that time. Over many years, the town’s name changed as the population grew, and in 1942, Macungie School, on Main Street in Macungie, was opened and elementary students were served in the building for more than four decades. In 1989, a “new” Macungie Elementary School was built on the campus that houses both Shoemaker Elementary School and Eyer Junior High School, and it opened for students in September of 1989.Currently, Macungie Elementary School serves approximately 480 students, ranging from kindergarten through Grade 5. The school employs approximately 40 professional and 30 non-professional staff members.
