The Bobcat Way: 100% of our students will graduate and be fully prepared for a post-secondary education.
Northeastern High School Class of 2012 Climbs Ladder of Success With low, dark clouds in the sky and the threat of rain on everyone’s mind, 231 members of the Class of 2012 graduated on June 5. Luckily, by the time the students crossed the stage to receive their diplomas, the clouds had given way to blue skies and a crisp breeze.
The evening was centered around the class motto, an Ayn Rand quote, “The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.” Featured speakers in-cluded graduates Lesley Moore, Obria Shaw, Morgan Pierre, and valedictorian, Julia Zielinski. North-eastern School Board President, Margie Walker, Superintendent, Dr. Jody Nace, Assistant Principal, Mrs. Melissa Bream, and Principal, Mr. Mathew Gay also addressed a packed crowd at Bobcat Stadium.
Lesley Moore compared her years at Northeastern with the game “Chutes and Ladders.” She equated challenges as chutes, indicating that although the Class of 2012 has faced difficulties, life’s chutes helped form their work ethic, views, beliefs, and values. “We learned to jump the chutes and climb the ladders and that is why we are all
sitting here about to flip our tassels and step onto the next rung on the ladder of our lives. And although there are sure to be more chutes along with the ladders in our future, we need to remember to always keep climbing,”
Obria Shaw told her classmates, “We are the future, and by the fact that we made it to the pin-nacle of our ladder—reaching suc-cess—it is evident that we will write a new definition for greatness. We have climbed the rungs of opportunity on life’s ladder and success is ours.“
Mr. Gay will always share a unique bond with the graduates, because he became principal when they started ninth grade. During his speech, he reflected on various experiences throughout their four years together. He also recognized the students who will be entering the military.
Superintendent, Dr. Jody Nace, told the students about seven lessons she wished she had known when she had graduated. She suggested that they choose to build rela-tionships with people who make them better, decide to be kind, learn how to save and budget, give back to their community, find their passion, and do what they love.
The Northeastern School District has named Julia Zielinski as Valedictorian of the Class of 2012. She is the daughter of John and Chris Zielinski. Her cumulative grade point average, through the end of the third marking period, earned her the honor of being the highest ranked stu-dent in her class.
During high school, Julia was on Distin-guished Honor Roll each marking period during her high school years, and was also always among the top 25 in her
class. She was a member of the National Honor Society, the Varsity Club (Treasurer, senior year), and First Prior-ity Club (Leader, junior/senior year). Julia was a member of the Tri-M Music Honor Society, acting as the Vice President during her senior year. She was in the orches-tra, jazz band, concert choir, drama club, and musicals.
Christina Boyd’s cumulative grade point average, through the end of the third marking period, earned her the honor of being the second highest ranked student and Salutatorian of the Class of 2012. She is the daughter of Craig and Janet Boyd.
Christina was on Distinguished Honor Roll each semester during her entire high school career and was also among the top 25 students in her
class. She was a member of National Honor Society and served as the treasurer during her senior year. She was also a member of the National Society of High School Scholars and the Math Club.
Christina was a member of an All-Star Competition Cheerleading Travel Team for four years and was in

In addition to the grants provided by the Northeastern Scholarship Foundation on the previous page, the following students received scholarships at the Senior Awards Program on June 4. Students in the Class of 2012 worked hard to obtain over $1.1 million dollars in scholarships within and outside of the Northeastern community! Approximately 70% of students in the class are planning to further their education in some capacity, which pairs well with the district’s vision that 100% of our stu-dents will graduate and be fully prepared for a post secondary education. Congratulations, Class of 2012!

A Few Memories of the Class of 2012
Comprehensive Planning Process for the Northeastern School District
Page 7 Northeastern Highlights
Northeastern School District is currently involved in the comprehensive planning process as required by the state Depart-ment of Education. The development of this comprehensive plan will set the direction for the Northeastern School District for the next three years. Because of the collaborative process we will be using, the plan will reflect our mission and vision as a district, as well as the shared values of our community. It will provide direction for Northeastern School District to meet and exceed the Pennsylvania Academic standards, and will define the programs and services available to our stu-dents. As a Phase I school, Northeastern must develop our plan and submit it to PDE for approval by November 30, 2012, with an implementation date of July 1, 2013.
As part of this process, we will be asking parents, community members and area business leaders to provide feedback via a survey to help guide our planning. The link for the survey will be posted on the district’s website, on Twitter and Facebook, and will be distributed via our parent email blast in July. It will also be mailed to area businesses and shared with community members who serve on district committees. If you do not have computer access, hard copies of the sur-vey can be picked up at the Administration Center or will be mailed to any community member upon request. Thank you in advance for providing this very important feedback!
A Comprehensive Planning meeting will be held in September to review the data and begin developing our district goals. It is important to us to have input from all of our district stakeholders. If you are interested in serving on this committee or if you have questions regarding this process, please contact Dr. Stacey Sidle at [email protected].

Dr. Jody Nace,

Northeastern School District is
launching a special campaign called “Who Cares?” We are gathering sto-
ries from students and parents re-garding Northeastern staff members who have gone above and beyond
to care for our students and families. Maybe it was a teacher, custodian,
principal, aide, secretary, or nurse? Maybe it was some other employee in the district. Here is your chance to share your special story! We would like to
gather these stories so that they can be shared as a spe-cial tribute to these caring employees at our opening day
meeting with our staff in August. Some of you may be asked to be featured in a special “Who Cares?” video trib-ute, as well. If you are interested in sharing a story, please
check out the “Who Cares” campaign information on the
district’s website at www.nesd.k12.pa.us.
