Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts

Last week, we gathered as a school community to celebrate and honor the retirement of Amy Nesfeder after more than 20 years of dedicated service as a teacher and Chair of the Social Studies Department at Charter Arts.

Throughout her tenure, Mrs. Nesfeder provided exceptional leadership, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to both students and colleagues.

As she begins this well-earned next chapter, we extend our deepest gratitude for her years of service and the lasting impact she has made at our school. We wish her happiness, fulfillment, and many new adventures in retirement.

Thank you to The Morning Call for stopping by our graduation last night. It was a wonderful evening celebrating the accomplishments of the Class of 2026--with some moments captured beautifully in this photo story.
