Throwback Thursday πβ¨
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, 1966βalthough some areas like the auditorium, gym, and art and music rooms were still under construction. π οΈ
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. π«π #ThrowbackThursday #BooneProud #DanielBooneClassof1967
