New Outlook Academy recently held another awesome Student Achievement Assembly. This event recognizes student accomplishments across many diverse activities, including earning Honor Roll status and achieving outstanding participation in the STEAM Program, as well as the Photography and Bakery classes. Additional recognition went to students who earned their GED, OSHA certification or completed a college course. It was a great day to celebrate all the hard work and achievement of the young ladies of New Outlook Academy. Congratulations to all!!!
TUBMAN… A Modern Look at History Students at New Outlook Academy had the amazing opportunity to see the show TUBMAN at the August Wilson Cultural Center in Pittsburgh! This one woman show presents the story of Harriet Tubman reimagined as a young woman growing up in Harlem through a theatrical lens. Harriet Tubman is a heroine and American legend in her own right. This session takes the story of Harriet in the 19th century and places her in the 21st century; laced with the problems facing African-American youth all over the country, especially focusing on the mistreatment of black girls in schools. What would happen if a young woman like Harriet became a leader in this new world? Would her struggle be the same? Would she know her power? This play examines the centuries old fight with race, gender, and equality through a theatrical lens centered around the most influential female leaders in American history.
Students Palace S.( Maryland), Ceasie J. (Philadelphia), Lia H. (Philadelphia), Janida V. (Delaware), Kareema B.(Philadelphia) and Anna J. (York Co.) enjoyed learning about this piece of history!!!
Combining learning and fun during a trip to the Carnegie Science Center and Sportsworks, New Outlook Academy students were all smiles for the day. Exploring science in a new way!!!
New Outlook Academy is continuing its College within the High School program through Allegheny County Community College! Classes currently being offered include Psychology 101 and Academic/Personal Development (SDS) 102.
Psychology 101 provides students with an understanding of how the scientific method is applied to the study of human and animal behavior.
SDS 102 is a course in the techniques for becoming a successful college student. Coping skills and strategies for transitioning to college are emphasized. The course fosters an awareness of self, the role of self-esteem and confidence in learning, and the importance of self-management skills and tools.

New Outlook Academy students are volunteering their time and talents, crocheting Joey Pouches that will be collected and sent to Australia to contribute to relief efforts from recent devastating fires. Joey Pouches are designed to keep baby Kangaroos alive when they cannot live in their mother's pouch. Ashant'e L (Westmoreland Co) and Haleigh S. (Erie) are just a few of our students who are working on the project.

New Outlook Academy students enjoyed a day of ice skating at PPG and then enjoyed the view of the city from the Mt. Washington Overlook! The mild winter weather is affording wonderful opportunities to enjoy lots of fun Pittsburgh experiences.
Winter wonderland. For most of our California students, life in Pennsylvania brings many new experiences, including their first snowfall. This young lady is learning how to make the perfect snow ball. ❄️☃️❄️
