St. John Neumann Regional School has been selected for the 2021 Best of Palmerton Award in the Schools category by the Palmerton Award Program.

The only Catholic school in all of Carbon County, St. John Neumann Regional School has doubled in enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year.

Each year, the Palmerton Award Program identifies companies that it believes have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category.

The 2021 Palmerton Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity, and winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Palmerton Award Program and data provided by third parties.

School Principal Mary Comensky said the award is a huge distinction for the school.

“We are so humbled to receive this recognition from our community, and look forward to serving our mission in the area for many more years into the future,” Comensky said.

The Palmerton Award Program is an annual awards program honoring the achievements and accomplishments of local businesses throughout the Palmerton area. Recognition is given to those companies that have shown the ability to use their best practices and implemented programs to generate competitive advantages and long-term value.

The Palmerton Award Program was established to recognize the best of local businesses in the community.

The organization works exclusively with local business owners, trade groups, professional associations and other business advertising and marketing groups. Its mission is to recognize the small-business community’s contributions to the U.S. economy.
