BASD Summer Lunch Program

Now until the 100th Celebration at the High School on May 23rd, we will be highlighting the last 100 years of BAHS. We present a small sample of the 1990s #OwlPride

CO-OP SPOTLIGHT Keion Skaggs Keion is a senior in the Automotive Technology program. Ever since he was a child, he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father and become an auto mechanic. This year, Keion chose to participate in a co-op placement at Quick Way Auto Sales to gain hands-on experience, earn some extra money, and enjoy time outside the traditional classroom setting. At Quick Way, he performs a variety of automotive tasks including brake repairs, tire services, and general vehicle maintenance. Keion values the positive work environment, especially the mentorship he receives from his boss, Joe, who treats him like family. Keion is currently in the process of earning his PA State Inspection license. After graduation, Keion plans to continue working at Quick Way Auto Sales and further develop his skills in the field. Congratulations, Keion. #OwlPride #CTE

CO-OP SPOTLIGHT Haiden Cobb Haiden is currently a junior enrolled in the Automotive Technology program, where he has chosen to pursue hands-on learning experiences over traditional classroom settings. His decision to join the program was driven by a desire to engage directly with vehicles and gain practical skills. One of Haiden's favorite aspects of the auto shop program is the opportunity to work on actual vehicles, which allows him to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. He appreciates the dynamic learning environment, the camaraderie with peers, and the guidance provided by his instructor, Mr. Boylan. To further enhance his automotive skills, Haiden opted for the cooperative education (co-op) program. Haiden is currently completing his co-op at Bradford Tire Center. During his time at Bradford Tire Center, Haiden had the opportunity to work on many vehicles, from compact cars to SUVs, as well as specialized equipment such as garbage trucks and tractors. His responsibilities include performing routine maintenance tasks like oil changes and tire rotations, as well as more complex repairs. This hands-on experience has not only expanded Haiden's technical skills but also provided him with insights into the daily operations of an auto repair shop. He values the real-world experience and the opportunity to learn from seasoned professionals in the field. Looking ahead, Haiden plans to continue his co-op at Bradford Tire Center throughout the summer and into his senior year. #OwlPride #CTE

CO-OP SPOTLIGHT Carson Bishop Carson, a senior in our Well Drilling program, embarked on this path during his sophomore year to learn more about the oil and gas industry, welding, and mechanical work. Recognizing the value of hands-on experience, he transitioned into a co-op position, allowing him to gain practical, on-the-job training while earning an income. This decision not only accelerated his career trajectory but also provided the opportunity to spend half the school day engaged in work he is passionate about. Carson started his welding internship/co-op training in October of 2023 at Allegheny Bradford Corporation. Besides working and learning in the welding department he also willingly helped out in other departments as needed. Effective April 27, 2025 Carson became Manual GTAW (TIG) Welding and Orbital Automated Pipe Welding procedure qualified. By passing the above procedures he is now qualified as ASME and PED Code Certified. ASME stand for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Boiler and Pressure Vessel code & standards. PED is the European Pressure Equipment Directive which is similar to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. With the qualification Carson was promoted to the position of Welder. Upon graduation Carson has accepted full-time first shift employment with Allegheny Bradford Corporation. ABC is a recognized leader providing stainless steel solutions to multiple industries – pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food and beverage, chemical, electronic processing, and others. Congratulations Carson. #OwlPride #CTE

CO-OP SPOTLIGHT Nick Degolier Nick is currently a junior enrolled in our carpentry program. He chose this path to engage in hands-on work, enjoy outdoor activities, and acquire new skills. His favorite aspect of the class has been learning to read blueprints and mastering the use of various tools. In February, Nick began his co-op placement with Bob Frantz, the Facilities Manager at the YWCA. In this role, he assists with tasks such as demolition, interior and exterior remodeling, and the installation of doors, windows, trim, and cabinets. Nick finds the work environment at the YWCA to be friendly and appreciates the opportunity to collaborate with great people. He enjoys the variety of tasks, which allows him to learn something new every day. Nick plans to continue his work at the YWCA this summer and aims to maintain his co-op position there during his senior year. #OwlPride #CTE
