Every morning 138 students hopped onto three Exeter buses to travel to the Berks Vocational-Technical Schools to enlarge their educational experiences in ways not available at their home school. Exeter students joined others from 15 county schools in their interest in vocational fields because they realized increased automation and technology require specialized skills. The programs at Oley’s East Center and Leesport's West Center provide skills, knowledge, techniques, and attitudes to enable high school graduates to enter their desired field upon graduation or after further study in their field. The course offerings which range from air conditioning to welding may be a two or three year program meeting industrial, technological and service developments in the studied area. To become a vo-tech student, the applicant must fill out a preliminary application requiring a parent’s signature. If accepted, the student spends the morning at the vo-tech school and the afternoon at the home school, thus enriching both facilities with his range of experiences. Between the two schools, each student receives the required subjects for graduation as specified by the Department of Education for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

In these days of families which must move to achieve better jobs or to find new jobs, it is rare to see a student who has stayed in the same school district from kindergarten through twelfth grade. At Exeter, however, there are some 60 seniors, a quarter of the graduating class, who have spent all their school years in a district building. Whether the senior attended Lausch, Jacksonwald, or Lorane, he spent three years in the junior high and three in the senior high with many of the same people in his homeroom or Comp I class. He can look back at his third grade homeroom picture and find a younger version of the girl who sits in front of him in Calculus or rotates with him in Volleyball II. Long standing Exeter attendees have many similar memories—standing on the yellow line on the walk to the bus in elementary school, attending Camp Adahi for environmental education in fifth or sixth grade, seeing Disney films before vacation in the junior high, selling magazine subscriptions to earn the movie, picking mini-courses, and eating powdered doughnuts before school on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the senior high.
