Daniel Boone Area School District will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule tomorrow, December 15th (Monday). While our local townships have done a tremendous job clearing the roads, we are seeing a considerable amount of drifting snow from the wind. The delay will allow for more time to clear the roads and additional daylight for safer travel.
Be safe and stay warm!

🛠️ Student Craftsmanship on Display! 🛠️
Students in Technological Design have been hard at work creating custom wooden trays — and the creativity has been amazing! Each student selected their own wood species and designed a unique pattern for the tray bottom, making every piece truly one-of-a-kind.
While the trays aren’t fully finished just yet, they’re only a few final steps away from completing a project unlike anything done in our high school woodshop in nearly 20 years!
The engagement and excitement in the room have been incredible. Students are proud of their craftsmanship, and the results speak for themselves. A huge thank you to the Blazer Education Foundation for helping fund the wood materials that made this project possible.
Interested in projects like this? Students can sign up for Technological Design next school year to be part of more hands-on, creative builds just like this one.
