These opportunities may include speakers from government, universities, the media and other institutions that address issues of importance in the daily lives of citizens. Monetary grants for student graduation projects related to social studies may also be an opportunity.

Retired Quakertown Magisterial Justice C. Robert Roth, a 1965 graduate of Quakertown High School, was a student of Miss Neamand, in her “Problems of Democracy” course. He said she was often the class advisor, a title not often held by women in those days.

“She was a really, really good teacher,” he said. “Always had the respect of the class. There were no discipline problems, and she wasn’t a disciplinarian. She was just well liked.”

The political science classes of Jennifer Miller and Jon Pallone, and Andy Boquist’s AP Government and Politics class sat in on one of two sessions given by the guest speaker in the Quakertown Perofmring Arts Center. Some students, invited by teachers, also enjoyed a lunch with Mr. Staats in Mr. Boquist’s classroom.

Mr. Staats, in his ninth year in the state House is a Bucks County native and a 1979 graduate of Central Bucks East. He enlisted in the Navy and has worked in the restaurant and hotel industries. Mr. Staats is also a former Richland Township supervisor. Both of his sons graduated from QCHS, in 2012 and 2014. “They were extremely prepared for higher education when they left, so you’re in good hands,” he said.

In each session, students had the opportunity to ask him several questions, which he described as “very insightful.”
