We were so fortunate to honor veterans yesterday with a breakfast and choral program. Our thanks to Mrs. Mary Beth Gray, the Birdsboro American Legion, and our IC and HS choral groups for their support of the program. And, of course, our thanks and admiration for all who have served.
🇺🇸 Honoring Our Boone Veterans 🇺🇸
On Friday, two of our very own, Jason Withers (Director of Facilities) and Matthew Brand (Director of Safety & Security), were celebrated at the Benefit for Berks County Veterans Luncheon, sponsored by Customers Bank and held at the DoubleTree Hotel. Superintendent Tom Voelker was honored to join in recognizing two of our Boone veterans for their dedicated service.
Today and every day, we honor all veterans in our Boone community, Berks County, and beyond who have bravely protected our freedom. Thank you for your service! #BooneProud #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans

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
