Reported by: Tyler Funke

“From teaching phys. ed, to coaching a high school football team, Mr. Scepanski has it all. Graduating from Solanco High School then West Chester University, Mr. Scepanski has brought a ton of enthusiasm and happiness to the community, but which was more important to him as a child, education or sports” said Tyler Funke. “I felt that both were very important especially when you look at going into the college level. Sports can help but the academics come first and that’s the main goal. Make sure you have a good academic background and then the sports part takes care of itself” explained Mr. Scepanski. “Mostly everyone who came from the middle school knows who Mr. Scepanski is, so why did he come to the high school” said Tyler Funke. “I chose to come to the high school. There was an opening here. Teaching at the high school level was something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s just another learning experience for me and moving into the direction that I wanted to go” proclaimed Mr. Scepanski. “He picked football out of all sports, but with a purpose” as Tyler Funke spoke. “It’s something I started playing when I was 9 years old. I’ve always been very passionate about it. Since the time I was 9, I’ve never gone a year without being involved in football some way. It’s just something I’m very passionate about. I enjoy playing it, coaching it. It’s something that’s always been in my life” said Mr. Scepanski. “Not only is football a big deal for him, but so is teaching phys. ed” said Tyler Funke. “Other than some crazy injuries that happened occasionally, my first year teaching we had a girl that we were playing floor hockey and she tripped, fell and ended up knocking part of her tooth out and that happened within my first two weeks of teaching. I was right out of college so that was probably one of my most interesting because you know, in college they prepare you to teach but they don’t prepare you fully to handle the awkward situations that happen” vocalized Mr. Scepanski. “It is still possible for Mr. Scepanski to be on the road to follow his dream” said Tyler Funke. “Reality is here now as I get older and stuff. I enjoy where I’m at right now. I enjoy coaching here at Northeastern. What the future holds from there I have no idea, but right now I’m very happy with where I am” recited Mr. Scepanski. “Tyler Funke reporting for High Street Media” said Tyler Funke.

MARCHING BAND

This story originally aired on HSMN on Friday, October 14.  Reported by Emily Dellinger
Northeastern marching band is so much more than just playing an instrument while marching to a beat. One thing that almost everyone knows about marching band is that they perform at the varsity football games. Taylor Forry, a freshmen alto sax player, said “Preforming our first show was probably one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. I was so nervous, but I knew that I had prepared enough and I was ready to perform. We stayed in time with the music, our lines were straight, we followed the drum major and we put on a really good show.”

Even though it may seem like the marching band is just performing at the games, that’s not all they do. They participate in many other events and for some of the freshmen that’s a big difference from middle school marching band. “Marching band is a lot more advanced than it was last year,” said Sarah Sowers, a freshmen flute player. “They take it a lot more serious. It’s a lot more involved. We have practice a lot more than we would last year. Last year I know we would practice a couple times going outside and stuff, but this year it’s more advanced like we’re practicing every week, every Thursday we have after school practices.”


On top of the extra practices the high school marching band also takes part in band shows and parades. The next band show they perform at is the Dover Band Show and it occurs on October 29. They are also playing in the Halloween and Homecoming Parades in Manchester and Mount Wolf on the 16 and 19 of October. More parades they are performing in include the Columbia Mardi Gras Parade on October 27 and the Memorial Day Parade, later in the school year, on May 29. If you would like to see the band play come out and support them at any of these events or at the football games.

Reported by: Tyler Funke

"Almost every student and staff member know each other at Northeastern High School, but down at room 107, it's a different story. School can sometimes be frightening when you're a new student, but it's not always just the students who are frightened. Sometimes it's teachers too. Mrs. Sawyer, the new German teacher at Northeastern High School, who is not afraid of being new" said Tyler Funke. "The people that I met here so far, are really nice. All the teachers, teachers in the neighboring classrooms have been so helpful" said Mrs. Sawyer. "Teaching may not just be a job for her, but also a hobby" as Tyler Funke spoke. "I've been teaching for probably about 4 years. My teaching experience has been broken up because I taught for a little bit in Russia and then I lived in Europe for three years and then I moved here to the U.S in 2006, and I wasn't able to teach right away because I had to work on getting my teaching certificate" proclaimed Mrs. Sawyer. "Family life at home for her was different" Tyler Funke said. "My mom is also Russian but my dad, he lives in Ukraine. My parents got divorced when I was two years old, but my dad, he always lived in Ukraine, but when they met, he was in the military where I'm from, the town of Kirov, Russia" exclaimed Mrs. Sawyer. "She has been to many places, but came here, like most people, with a reason" said Tyler Funke. "I originally am from Russia. I lived in Russia from my birth until I graduated from the university, then I went to Germany, lived there, worked there for a year. Then I also worked in Salzburg, Austria for two years and then I came from Salzburg to right here. I came here because I got married" said Mrs. Sawyer. "And meeting everyone in the school should make being here ten times better" said Tyler Funke. "I'm very excited to meet everyone. I am still meeting new teachers. The school is big so you can't meet everyone during the first few weeks, so I'm constantly meeting new people, new students. Also yesterday, Mrs. Bell took me on a short tour in the cafeteria and I met a Russian student, so it was very exciting to speak Russian with him and it was interesting too because he's originally from Canada, but his parents are Russian. He was born in Canada" stated Mrs. Sawyer.
