The Easton Area Schoolmen’s Association was founded by Mr. Joseph Mamana, former principal of the Easton Junior High School. The club holds several social events during the school year to build camaraderie within the teaching profession.

However, we are better known for our scholarship program. Over $200,000 in scholarship money has been awarded to graduating seniors from the Easton Area School District. The Joe Mamana Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to a gradating senior who plans to pursue a career in the field of teaching. We have also been involved in numerous service projects to benefit local charities as well as families in need.
