Welcome!

Dear Mastbaum Students and Parents/Guardians:

Here at Mastbaum, We Build the Future.

Mastbaum students experience and gain a world-class education, by demonstrating vocational and academic excellence, and continuing to develop their unique, tremendously vibrant talents, and skill-sets.  Each and every student is a vitally important individual at Mastbaum, in our community, and in our global society.

Mastbaum has exceptional and caring teachers and superior academic and career and technical education programs.  Mastbaum’s career and technical education programs include automotive, business, carpentry, culinary arts, electrical, graphic design, health care, medical records, and welding.

Students at Mastbaum are very successful and are provided with exceptional experiences, which include job and scholarship opportunities, paid internships, and partnerships with community organizations and businesses.  The area’s largest employers such as SEPTA, the Philadelphia Electric Company, Philadelphia Gas Works, Elliot Lewis, and the NorthEast Building Products work with Mastbaum students.

As always, we look forward to working with our students.

Mastbaum.  We Build the Future.

Best wishes toward continued success,

Dr. W. David Bowman, Principal

Mastbaum Community Night

We will be hosting a night for parents, Mastbaum staff, and the school community, on Thursday, December 6, 2018, from 6 to 7:30 pm.

This school community celebration is “Community, School Safety, & Climate.  Be Present with Mastbaum.  ~ Through Peace, Positivity and Promise.”

We will be bringing together community support organizations to be guest presenters, provide a list of community resources, offer personalized family support, and provide literature to help support Mastbaum families.

School safety will be a topic, in hopes that the community and Mastbaum can join together to help further promote safety in the community, and at Mastbaum.

Mastbaum students will express why they think safety at Mastbaum is important.

Students and parents or guardians who attend, can have a free, quality picture taken.  Pictures will be taken by the professional photographer who takes senior portraits, prom photos, and many, many pictures for the yearbook.
