Stroud Township

From Jacob Stroud originally founding Stroudsburg to Mini Thon raising money to help cancer patients; Stroudsburg along with its high school has developed over the years. Starting from the small school in Hamilton township to now a pillar of community on central Main Street.

Over the years Stroudsburg has changed greatly over the years. Along with this development came large changes to the school system and the high school.

Nearly 80% of Pocono Mountain students could soon attend school within the impact radius of a hyperscale data center. That is not an exaggeration, and it should stop every parent, taxpayer, and elected official in this region.
