north schuylkill – The Coal Speaker

The North Schuylkill football stadium light show is a new tradition..

When you rewind time, you’ll fine that there is an another more unorthodox tradition every year at North Schuylkill..

Juniors, at the point a when the senior class graduates, take over the famed ‘rock’ at the top of the mountain that overlooks the school district.

Each year, newly appointed seniors trek up a somewhat dangerous incline to put their year on ‘the rock,’ the mantle of their final year of high school.. the symbol of their success.

The North Schuylkill that almost was

Recently, the North Schuylkill class of 1969 celebrated its 50th reunion.. the class gathered to commend each other on successes, lament failures.. and laugh long into the darkness of the night as the band played on..

The class of 69’s yearbook was passed around for reunion-gatherers to relive memories and emotions.. But on the front few pages of the yearbook was a hopeful image: The way the school was set to look!

It was not at all like the North Schuylkill high school that exists today..
