Bald Eagle Area Schools
The Fellows visited the Bald Eagle Area School located about 20 minutes from Penn State over the Bald Eagle Ridge mountains to the Bald Eagle Valley. The school district encompasses over 362 square miles, the second largest in the state of Pennsylvania. Recently renovated, the school now has solar energy and geothermal energy, new middle school, 1200 seat gymnasium,and a 70 seat all purpose room for use by the school and the local community. The fellows toured the elementary, middle and high school, visited a Math Power Teaching class, and hosted two 9th grade World Geography classes to discuss current events in the countries of the fellows.
