Freedom High School community mourns student David Jacob Nackie, student representative says
Summary
Student representative Eliza Moore reported that Freedom High School lost junior David Jacob Nackie, a National Honor Society member and participant in gifted and technology programs; the board offered condolences during the June 16 meeting.
Eliza Moore, a student representative from Freedom High School, told the Bethlehem Area School District board on June 16 that the school community is mourning the loss of junior David Jacob Nackie.
Moore said Nackie was a member of the National Honor Society, participated in the district’s gifted program, and planned to attend Penn State to study electrical engineering. She described him as engaged in student activities — including the ASL program and vocational-technical studies — and noted he had entrepreneurial interests, refurbishing and selling gaming systems. Moore said Nackie had recently been recognized for his academic and extracurricular contributions and would be missed by his classmates and teachers.
The student report said Nackie graduated with the Freedom family’s respect for his achievements and activism, including advocacy work at the state capital to secure funding for his high school through the BASD Proud Parents organization. Moore closed by offering condolences to his family and loved ones.
The remarks were delivered as part of the student representative report; no board motions or votes were recorded in connection with the announcement during the meeting.
The board and administrators present expressed appreciation for the student representatives’ report and scheduled regular board business and committee updates for the remainder of the evening.
