North Penn Recognizes Inaugural 'Knights Of Honor' Class

LANSDALE, PA -- The North Penn School District has announced that the inaugural class of Knights of Honor has been selected.

NPSD instituted the program in 2016 in celebration of the school district's 50th anniversary. The purpose is to recognize individuals who have made a significant contribution to the school district, community and/or their chosen career, and therefore bring great honor to NPSD.

The program is designed to recognize notable North Penn community members, former staff members and alumni who have brought honor and outstanding service to NPSD. The goal of the program is to pay tribute to these important people and their contributions, but to also inspire others to follow in their footsteps.

The 2016 recipients are:

• June Browne, community member and former NPSD reading specialist
• James Finnemeyer, class of 1964, community member, former NPSD teacher and director of student activities
• Stephen Frederick, former NPSD community member, teacher, principal and Marching Knights Director
• Davis Giersch, community member, former NPSD teacher and choral director
• J. Michael Haynie, class of 1990, Vice Chancellor of Syracuse University

A ceremony honoring the recipients is planned for Wednesday, November 23 at 6 p.m. at North Penn High School to coincide with our 2nd annual Thanksgiving Day Alumni Flag Football game the following day.

On Wednesday evening, the district will unveil the Knights of Honor Concourse that will serve as an interactive tribute to our honorees today and for years to come.
