PHOTOGRAPHY: TEACHING TECHNIQUE & INSPIRING CREATIVITY

November 21, 2025

The photography class at New Outlook Academy is a student favorite for good reason. From learning how to properly use equipment to mastering techniques that capture the perfect shot, students gain hands-on skills that elevate their creativity. Our talented photography instructors also teach unique approaches to editing and enhancing images, helping students bring their artistic visions to life.

Beyond the classroom, students have the opportunity to serve as photographers for on- and off-campus activities—capturing special moments and creating lasting memories with their friends.

Congratulations to all of the New Outlook Academy 2025 JCJC Award Winners!

ADAGIO HEALTH TOBACCO CESSATION GROUP CONTINUES

October 27, 2025

Six young women at New Outlook Academy are continuing their journey in Adagio Health‘s Tobacco Cessation Program, an incredibly impactful initiative focused on preventing and reducing tobacco use while increasing awareness about the dangers of tobacco and secondhand smoke.

In this session, students explored common triggers they may encounter at home or in their communities and practiced healthy coping strategies to help them stay tobacco-free.

We’re proud of their commitment to making positive, lasting changes for their health and future!

SWEET MOMENTS at NEW OUTLOOK!

October 24, 2025

Our HR Manager, Rochelle Coleman, spent a fun-filled afternoon with students creating homemade caramel apples from scratch — cooking the caramel sauce, dipping, topping, and packaging each delicious treat. These tasty creations were shared with everyone at our Fall Fest celebration!

A huge thank you to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Penn State for their support through the PA Harvest of the Month grant, which helped make this hands-on (and mouth-watering!) experience possible.
