Anthracite Heritage Celebrated in our Schools

The week of October 20-24, 2008 was recognized as Anthracite Heritage Week at North Schuylkill and other Schuylkill County schools. K-12 teachers crafted lessons throughout the week in ways which helped promote an understanding and pride in the culture and history of the anthracite coal region. This week's celebration was the first of what we hope will become an annual tradition!

2+2+2 Partnership Forged!

The North Schuylkill School District has formed a partnership with Bloomsburg University and Luzerne County Community College which will allow students enrolled in the high school's Computer Forensics course to earn up to 15 credits of advanced standing at the post-secondary level.

The agreement will allow students to transfer 15 North Schuylkill credits to LCCC as they work toward an A.A.S.Degree in Cyber Security Management. These same students can then transfer to Bloomsburg University for four semesters. Their work at BU will allow them to earn a B.S. Degree in Computer Forensics.

By following this path a student can earn two degrees, an associates in Cyber Security and a bachelors in Computer Forensics! If you have questions about this program please e-mail me or contact our high school guidance counselors.

As a FYI, a Computer Forensics summer camp will be offered to middle school-age students this summer (2009). Times, dates and registration information will be announced later this year.
