📸 Throwback Thursday: Birdsboro’s Second High School — The Roosevelt Building 🏫
Did you know that Birdsboro’s second high school had its own school song (pictured below)? 🎶
Built in 1927, the Roosevelt Building served as Birdsboro’s high school until 1955, when Amity, Union, and Birdsboro joined together. After that, it became the Daniel Boone Junior High School. The building was located just behind the original high school—the Washington Building—between Adams and Jefferson Streets on West 3rd Street.
Drop a comment if you remember this school song! 👇🎵
✨ Behind the Scenes: Our monthly Throwback Thursday posts are being created by our Communications Intern, senior Dan Shank. Dan enjoys research and interviews and is excited to hone his skills while working alongside our DB Communications Team.

As we head into winter break, we want to take a moment to wish all of our Blazer families a season filled with joy, rest, and moments that warm the heart.
This year’s district holiday card — distributed to all DBASD staff — was designed by Ninaluz Munteanu, Class of 2029. Her playful snowman, festive trees, and hand-drawn swirls beautifully capture the creativity, spirit, and heart of the season.
As we wrap up 2025, we are grateful for the dedication, care, and community spirit that make Daniel Boone such a special place. Your support makes a lasting impact on our students, our schools, and one another.
From all of us at the Daniel Boone Area School District — Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year! We can’t wait to see what 2026 brings.
