We’re excited to cheer on Daniel Boone alum Alex Horton as he competes in the PBA Tournament of Champions tomorrow at 4:00 PM on The CW!

Before stepping onto one of bowling’s biggest stages, Alex made his mark right here at Daniel Boone—bringing home the 2021 State Championship as a Blazer. 💙

Now, he’s taking that same talent and determination to the professional level, and we couldn’t be more proud.

📺 Tune in, show your support, and help us celebrate one of our own!

What a great day at Daniel Boone on Saturday as we hosted an exciting Bus Driver Competition! 🚌

Nine companies went head-to-head, bringing a total of 36 skilled contestants who put their knowledge and precision to the test. Each participant completed a written exam, conducted a vehicle inspection to identify five defects, and showcased their driving abilities by navigating ten challenging obstacles.

Congratulations to Krise for earning both 1st and 2nd place honors! 🏆 The first-place winner took home a flat-screen TV and a spot in the state competition, while second place earned a cooler and also secured their place at states. In total, the top 10 contestants will advance to the state competition on June 19–20 at Bald Eagle High School in State College.

Thank you to all who participated and helped make this event a success—we’re proud to support the professionals who safely transport our students each day! #BooneProud

Built in 1716, the Mouns Jones House is the oldest documented building in all of Berks County. 🏠

Back in 1701, the land it sits on was granted to Mouns Jones by William Penn himself. That land later became Amity Township—the first township in Berks County—named for the peaceful relationships with Native American communities.

What’s the oldest building near where you live?

🎮 Bonus points if you can guess the video game that inspired the pixelated image of the Mouns Jones House shown in this post!

Special thanks to Communications Intern and DBASD senior Daniel Shank for creating this week’s Throwback Thursday post.
