81 years ago, the only sports at Birdsboro High School were Boys Basketball (team picture shown here), Baseball, Bowling, Cheerleading, and Cross Country. Back then, the school called themselves the “Birds.” Other activities included Band, Debate Team, Glee Club, Hi-Y, and History Club.
If you could bring back one club from 1945, what would it be? 🏫
💡 Did you know?
In 1943 and 1944, Birdsboro High School cross country runner Tony DaDamino won back-to-back State Championships!

On Saturday, January 31, our high school indoor color guard traveled to Spring-Ford Area High School to compete in the Mid-Atlantic Indoor Network’s first show of the season—and what a debut it was!

The sky’s the limit for this incredible group! 🌟

Yesterday, members of our Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter volunteered at Helping Harvest, lending a hand to fight food insecurity right here in Berks County and surrounding areas.
The group—13 students and 2 advisors—helped sort food donations that will be distributed to families in need. Helping Harvest is part of the Feeding Pennsylvania network, which also happens to be PAFBLA’s current statewide fundraising partner, making this experience even more meaningful.
We’re proud of our students for leading with service and compassion. 💙

🎓 Alumni Spotlight: Todd Peterson (Class of 1987) 🎓
Since graduating from Daniel Boone Area High School in 1987, everything Mr. Peterson has done has been for the community.
Mr. Peterson worked for 31 years as a police officer for Spring Township, in addition to being the president of the Birdsboro Community Memorial Center and running a historical Facebook page called Birdsboro of Yesterday. 🚔
One of the most rewarding parts of Mr. Peterson’s work is when people recognize a family member in one of his frequent posts. In one such instance, Mr. Peterson helped locate the son of a former Birdsboro graduate who was killed in WWII. The son, having never met his father, was taken to Europe where he was given a tour and his father’s 1941 class ring. The entire encounter was written in an article by the Stars and Stripes newspaper.
“It takes a lot to keep a building up and running.” This simple phrase exhibits exactly what Mr. Peterson has been doing for his whole life. Any responsibility requires work and true dedication to fulfill and it is clear that Mr. Peterson has become an invaluable member of the Birdsboro Community. You can still find Mr. Peterson announcing for school football games, so next time you're at a game keep an eye out for the Daniel Boone alumnus. 🏈
Mr. Peterson also had a few words of advice for current high school students. “Have fun. Enjoy your time.”

During our recent virtual day, students were encouraged to take their learning to the next level with a fun twist. Intermediate Center 3rd grader, Shane, rose to the challenge by practicing his spelling words in the snow!
Shane took great pride in his work and couldn’t wait to share his snowy spelling practice with his teacher, Mrs. Woram. We’re excited to share these photos of Shane engaging in learning in such a creative and meaningful way.
Way to go, Shane! 👏
