Northeast Bradford Jr./Sr. High

Our greenhouse efforts have been underway for some time. Mr. Pifer states "Students have been hard at work in the greenhouse, starting from seeds, vegetables, annuals and perennials. Everything from alyssum to zinnia with a lot of variety in between. The students also monitor a number of hydroponics systems producing lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash. As the weather warms, they will be planting several gardens on site."

Mr. Robbins graduated from Northeast Bradford in 2011. After high school he attended Cornell University (Animal Science/Natural Resources ’16) and then received his teaching degree from Mansfield University in 2021. During his time at Cornell and Mansfield, he competed as a javelin thrower on the varsity track and field teams. He has experience in many areas of agriculture including mechanics, animal husbandry/veterinary, environmental topics, meat cutting, and more. Mr. Robbins is excited for the opportunity to bring his academic and athletic background to NEB.

Mrs. Morris took a group of excited students to visit Washington D.C. During their trip they were able to take a guided tour of the monuments, and see the blooming cherry blossoms. They were able to go to the National Zoo, visit the National Mall, and see the National Spy Museum!

The district is continuing to upgrade technology in order to teach in a world that is constantly changing. Many rooms throughout the district have been upgraded with smart televisions. These new televisions replace the older smart board technology and have the ability to run internet based programs without needing to connect to a computer. They are also interactive which allows students and staff to better engage during class time.

Thanks to the help of many of our NTCC students, Mr. Howell and Mr. Martell from the Career Center, and our own buildings and grounds staff, we now have a new concrete pad in the courtyard. Many hours went into this project in order to ensure ADA compliance, and safety for students using the space. The district is now working on getting new picnic tables for the area and the National Honor Society is going to be sprucing the area up on earth day!
