Congratulations to these 8 graduating Seniors on this tremendous academic achievement!
This program is dedicated to
Jarred Austin Kearns.
Jarred passed away on Au-
gust 22, 2019 as a result of
an automobile accident.
Jarred was a senior at Mif-
flin County High School
where he was an honor stu-
dent. In addition, Jarred
was enrolled in his third and
final year of the Electrical Installation program at The
Academy. His dream was to pursue a career as an elec-
trician. As we celebrate the accomplishments of our stu-
dents this year, may we reflect upon and celebrate the
positive impact that Jarred had on his classmates, teach-
ers and administration. Jarred loved hunting and fishing
and enjoyed helping others. Jarred was always an honest
young man and gave his time to help others even if it
was just to put a smile on their face. Jarred had a love
for older Ford vehicles and was restoring a 1980’s Ford
pickup. His life was taken too soon and he is truly
missed.
In Memory of Jarred A. Kearns

Charles R. Yeater Memorial Scholarship
Charles R. Yeater began his teach-
ing career as the Electrical Installa-
tion instructor in 1988 at The Acad-
emy, which was then known as the
Juniata-Mifflin Counties Area Vo-
cational Technical School. Mr.
Yeater touched the lives of many
students throughout his years of
teaching the Electrical Installation
program. He touched just as many students or more
with his warm smile and friendly greeting every day
and genuine interest in students’ lives and goals. He
always had positive things to say about his students
and truly supported and believed in the vocational ed-
ucation programs offered at this school. He also had
very strong ties to the community through his work
with the Milroy Fire Company and other community
positions. Charlie passed away from cancer on Octo-
ber 16, 2016. He is survived by wife, Georgia, daugh-
ter Abby, and grandson, Chase who miss him dearly. A
scholarship fund was formed in Charlie’s memory
with the purpose of assisting students, not only Elec-
trical students but any student, from The Academy in
furthering their education or starting a career with the
proper tools needed. Charlie’s memory lives on
through these scholarships and through the fact that he
continues to support the goals of The Academy stu-
dents.
P. Robert Baker Memorial Scholarship
P. Robert “Bob” Baker grew up just steps from the
Academy in the Lewistown Heights. He left school
early to enlist in the US Navy during WW II. He trav-
eled to five continents and saw heavy battle in the
South Pacific where his ship was hit by a Kamikaze
pilot. Bob served in the amphibious detail which was
a precursor to today’s Seals. Upon leaving the service,
Bob became a pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers, mar-
ried Dorothy Gilson of Port Royal and raised two
daughters, Beth and MeeCee. Bob also was known for
being the local pitcher who defeated The House of Da-
vid, barn storming team that played Lewistown at Dix-
on Field. Bob’s emphasis on vocational education as a
way to improve one’s station in life prompted this
scholarship.
