The Penn Alexander School draws students from a defined geographical area, like most Philadelphia public schools. After careful consideration of numerous options, the Board of Education approved the attendance zone shown on this map (please note the border runs down the middle of the street). Any school-age child living within this area is eligible to attend the school.

The HSA has five parent meetings per year. These meetings start with a potluck, then provide an HSA Treasurer's Resport as well as a guest speaker(s) discussing important topics that parents have requested. If you have a topic you would like to hear about or if you would like to present at an HSA meeting, please contact PennAlexHSA@gmail.com. There are also several fundraising and community events each year. Below is a list of annual events.
