About 16th Haak
Elementary School
The 16th and Haak
Elementary School was opened in the fall of 1968 on 2.65 acres in East Reading.
Haak Street was named after the Haak family farm, which was located in the same
area.
The new school replaced three
older buildings: 15th & Perkiomen, 17th & Cotton,
and the original 1898 16th & Haak (which was located directly
across the street from the new school). The razing of the old school provided
space for a new playground. In 2001
an addition was completed.
In 2002 nearly 520 boys and girls
attend 16th and Haak Elementary School. Forty-five staff members
educate and serve the needs of each individual student. There are 24 classrooms
for grades pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The new addition permitted art, music, instrumental, and gym
to have their own classroom. A new lunchroom and all-purpose room is included in
the addition.
