Check out these photos of Mr. Welsh as he learns to bend pipe at IBEW #743 (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers). Other visits included Reading Hospital, Entech Engineering, Berks Fire Water Restoration, East Penn Manufacturing (DEKA), and Newcastle Landscaping.
A big thanks to BBEC and all the local businesses who opened their doors to inspire our students! #BooneProud #CareerExploration #FutureWorkforce

Throwback Thursday 📚✨
Step back in time with us to the origins of the Daniel Boone Junior-Senior High School! These classic snapshots capture a newly finished science lab, classroom, auditorium, and gymnasium in our brand-new building circa mid-1960's.
The story behind the school is as memorable as the building itself! The journey started in 1955 with the formation of a jointure between Amity, Union, and Birdsboro. Expansion plans were approved in 1960, and Birdsboro was chosen as the site. Construction kicked off in 1964, overcoming challenges like strikes, a flood, and even a hurricane! Despite these obstacles, our doors opened on September 7, 1966—although some areas like the auditorium, gym, and art and music rooms were still under construction. 🛠️
Finally, in the spring of 1967, the Daniel Boone Junior-Senior High School was dedicated, marking the completion of a vision that shaped our school community. 🏫🌟 #ThrowbackThursday #BooneProud #DanielBooneClassof1967
