Proud moment for Boone student Thomas Kruse as he stepped onto the biggest stage in jiu-jitsu competition at the IBJJF World Championships held at the end of May in Long Beach. Competing at that level takes dedication, discipline, and courage, and this experience is one he can continue to build on moving forward.
Every match brought valuable lessons, and the growth from this opportunity will carry into what comes next. He’s already back to training and focused on preparing for future competitions with even more determination.
Excited to watch what’s ahead on this journey. #BooneProud

🎓🧱 While many seniors will be celebrating graduation this week, Daniel Boone senior Owen Heimbach has already received his diploma so he can represent our school on a national stage!
Owen is one of five Berks Career & Technology Center students who qualified for the SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Due to a scheduling conflict between the national competition and local graduation ceremonies, Owen faced a difficult choice—attend graduation or compete at nationals.
He chose to compete.
During BCTC’s Senior Recognition Ceremony, Owen was presented with his Daniel Boone diploma by Superintendent Tom Voelker, allowing him to be recognized before departing for Atlanta to compete in Masonry.
We are incredibly proud of Owen for this outstanding achievement and for representing Daniel Boone, BCTC, and Berks County on the national level.
Please join us in wishing Owen the very best of luck at SkillsUSA Nationals! #BooneProud

Functional, beautiful, and completely one-of-a-kind—just like our students. 👏
