Named after James K. Mosser, an Allentown industrialist with a keen interest in education, Mosser Elementary School opened in 1917. Mosser co-owned the Lehigh Brick Works and the Mosser and Keck tannery; he also was a major donor to the first Allentown General Hospital. An addition was added in 1969, giving Mosser a separate auditorium, cafeteria and gymnasium, unique features for an elementary school. Throughout the years, Mosser has served students in grades K-8 on the east side of the city.

Mosser Woods
The Mosser Woods is an outdoor environmental education center located on 23 acres of Pennsylvania woodlands, directly behind Mosser School. Mosser Woods provides opportunities for students and teachers alike to enjoy the great outdoors. The woods features woodland and wetland habitats, 2.5 miles of hiking trails, and a variety of educational programs. Mosser Woods was developed through a partnership with PPL and various local, state, and federal agencies. The Woods has been in use since August of 1994.
