Daniel Boone Area High School -

📘 Blazer Legacy Spotlight: Lorraine Stagg 🔬🎉 After more than 25 years of teaching science at Daniel Boone High School, Lorraine Stagg is closing the lab notebook and heading into a well-earned retirement — leaving behind a legacy filled with curiosity, chaos, and heart. From dead rat dissections to skeleton jump scares, Lorraine’s science classroom was always full of energy (and maybe a bit of a smell!). Whether it was Jeff Berger moonwalking out of her classroom during a lab observation, stairwell munchkin ambushes by Ebling and Mentzer or Werley accidentally (on purpose) scaring her for the 100th time, she greeted it all with laughter, passion, and an unshakable love for teaching. But Lorraine’s legacy goes far beyond memorable lab mishaps and laughs. “My students and my colleagues have had a profound impact on helping to shape the person I am today. They’ve been an integral part of my life in so many ways. I treasure the friendships I have forged throughout the years, and the many wonderful people I’ve met in education — it’s been an incredible journey.” That journey inspired her own daughter, now a senior at Kutztown University majoring in secondary English education, to follow in her footsteps. Lorraine hopes her students always felt how much she cared, and took away something beyond just science: “There’s so much more in life to learn — be a lifelong learner. Be observers, ask questions, find answers, work hard at something you love. Most importantly, care about others.” 🎬 Her highlight reel? Dissections gone sideways, a classroom known for its unique smell, and countless joyful, meaningful moments with the colleagues and students who’ve meant so much over the years. 💗 In retirement, Lorraine looks forward to spending time with her grandchildren and family — and pretending to enjoy fishing with her husband. 🎣 Lorraine, thank you for the laughter, learning, and legacy. Your impact reaches far beyond the science lab. #BlazerLegacy #BooneProud #ThankYouLorraine

🧪🍳 Mrs. Miller's Chemistry classes have been hard at work mixing science and fun! Over the past two days, students experimented with the perfect combination of vinegar and baking soda to create a cushion of air — all in an effort to protect their eggs during a dramatic drop to the ground. Science in action at its best! 👩‍🔬🚀 #BooneProud #HandsOnLearning #STEMinAction

🎉 Congratulations to DBAHS senior Kamryn Burmester on successfully completing her internship with Penn State Health St. Joseph Medical Center! 🏥💙 Kamryn interned in the Surgical Services Outpatient Interventional Unit, where she gained valuable hands-on experience—transporting patients, prepping rooms, and creating a calm, comforting environment for those in care.

#TBT to the Class of 2015 🎓 Ten years ago, these seniors proudly shaped a "15" on the court—capturing a moment that symbolized both unity and the start of their journey beyond Boone.

As we count down to the Class of 2025’s big day, we celebrate the legacy left behind by those who came before.
