🛠️ 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.

🚀 Ninth Grade Students Explore Local Careers Through Berks Business Tours
On Thursday, our ninth-grade class took part in the Berks Business Education Coalition’s annual Business Tours—a key experience within the Freshman Leadership Network program.
The Berks Business Education Coalition (BBEC) works to build strong partnerships between local businesses and schools, helping students explore career pathways and develop leadership skills that prepare them for life after graduation. Through programs like the Business Tours, BBEC connects students with real-world learning opportunities and the many industries that drive our region.
Students began the day with an opening session led by a local business representative before traveling to their assigned tour site. Each group visited one of the following Berks County businesses for a behind-the-scenes look at daily operations and career opportunities:
🔹 Cambridge Lee Industries
🔹 East Penn Manufacturing
🔹 Electro-Space Fabricators
🔹 Classic Harley-Davidson
🔹 New Castle Lawn & Landscape
🔹 Muhlenberg Greene Architects
This hands-on experience allowed students to see potential careers in action and learn directly from professionals across a variety of industries.
📸 Included are photos of our students touring Classic Harley-Davidson.
We’re grateful to BBEC and all participating businesses for opening their doors and helping our students explore their futures!
