Unified Track Home Meets
Hi! This is Luke again! The Unified Track team had their home meets on May 3 and May 10. A really fun time was had by all! CB South’s team was on fire!
CB South’s two home meets were both successes. With the support of the crowd, we ran our hardest and had a ton of fun. We even won first place on our final home meet! I participated in several events, including the 100-yard dash and mini javelin. With my friends around, I ran some personal bests! The cheering from the stands really helped me run fast.
Ms. Mattern is our Head Coach and I had the opportunity to ask her a couple of questions:
This year we had two home meets, is that normally what happens?
“This year is the first time that we have had two home meets. We always get to have 1 home meet during the regular season, but, this year we also got to host the regional meet at the conclusion of the season. I thought it was so fun to have 2 home meets this year!!”
And What is your favorite part about Unified Track?
“My favorite part of Unified track is working with so many students and watching them grow and compete! I believe people are the best part of life and getting to work with so many fun people is the best part of Unified Track! Plus, I LOVE watching students achieve their goals and continue to set new ones.”
I am a senior and I have had a great time making friends and having fun participating in such a fun sport. Next year I will be heading off to West but hope to come back and run even faster. Thank you all for reading my story. I hope you all learned a little bit more about Unified Track. Next year please try to come out and support us it helps us to stay motivated!!
CBS Writing Center
Hi! My name is Grace, I’m focusing on CBS Writing center. I’m interested because I really want to know how the CBS school came up with the writing center.
Background Information: What You Need to Know
The writing center opened this year. The writing center opens during lunch and learn, and classes can come during the rest of the day. In fact, I’m writing this blog in the writing center right now. The writing center is a good resource to help with homework and class work.
You can also make appointments with other students to help you with your writing, homework, and class work. The writing center can help you improve on your writing for college application and work application.
Deep Dive
Mrs. Tannous, the director, felt excited and nervous at the same time. Last year the writing center opened partially. This year its open throughout the whole school day. Even though Mrs. Tannous was nervous, she’s happy that it's successful this year. She’s looking forward to next year.
Wrap Up
I think all the students should try out the writing center and you can stop at the writing center during lunch & learn!
CB South Foundation
My name is William Lilley and I want to talk about the foundation about CB South high school, when it was it built, and how was it built.
Background Information: What You Need to Know
My plan is to talk to the architecture designers and see how they built the school and was it done and how they started building it.
Here are some facts about our school
- South was built in 2005.
- If you are talking about the “grading” of the earth, the building is simply following/using the topography of the land.
- South’s design was following aspects of a school in the Allentown area, Parkland High School.
- Concrete, concrete block, brick, aluminum and wood studs are used through the building.
- Central bucks is in the middle of new hope/Solebury
- Central bucks has about 119.7 sq mi
- New York has the largest school district
- The population is about 149,000
Deep Dive
The Auditorium is framed with wooden and metal studs, with insulation between the studs. Some of the walls are that of concrete block. Drywall over top of the studs/insulation covered with paint. The floor is concrete with carpet on top. The ceiling is actual a grid of metal with a “catwalk” above for maintenance.
Our South logo was built on 2 different high schools in the Central Bucks school district:

History of CB South
I am Logan, and l am focusing on the history of CB South because this is how l am contributing to the blog.
Background Information: What You Need to Know
Due to the rising population of students, and the existence of CB West and East, it was official that another school should be built. Thus, South was born (early 1970’s was when land was purchased for construction).
Interviews
Mrs. Thurber – First thoughts
She said it was very huge. She originally came from Tamanend. She misses the cafeteria lunches, such as salads. She had lots of school spirit.
Ms. Clark- First thoughts
She first started at CB East but did not have a good experience. When she first came to South in January 2005, she already knew people from being on the cheer team.
She thought the school was really big, and very easy to get lost because she didn’t know what floor she was on.
Jobs
She started as a special education teacher and volunteered with Titans Connect group. She thought it was really cool working alongside some of the teachers that she had when at South.
I interviewed Mrs. Reisinger who has been working here since 2005
This what she said:
‘’There were different principals and teachers, everything has brand new and clean. It had different technology and less technology compared to today. There was also less security.’’
Teachers
Ms. Tannous, Mr Wussler, Mrs. Stotler, Mrs. Warren, Mrs. Wiess, Ms. Gray, Mrs. Boyce, Mr. Woodring, Mr. Monk (counselor) Mrs. Mclaughlin (coach) Ms. LeClair
Deep Dive
Construction began in the late 90’s and when it was finished in 2004, the opening suddenly got postponed until the next year. It cost $84 million to build and is the largest school in the Central Bucks School District. The first graduating class did not start attending South until the spring semester. There have been no major renovations ever since. ln March 2005, to join with West and East, a rock was given to the campus for momentous occasions to be decorated.
Wrap Up
Ever since 2005, The Titans at Central Bucks South always have their strong spirit.
