Palestra The Palestra is the home of the boys' physical education classes, indoor athletic activities, and social events of the school. Most informal dances, pep rallies, and physical education programs are staged here. The Palestra is the training ground for many of Allentown's great athletes. Here, capacity crowds have for years supported Allentown High teams their cheers singing out encouragement to our young athletes.
