Northampton Area High School's school store, the Konkrete Korner, now has online purchasing. On Nov. 1, 2013, Northampton High School went online with the school store, the Konkrete Korner.

This website allows the community to have access to the school store's latest merchandise without having to visit the store during its hours of operation. While the merchandise was previously displayed on the Konkrete Korner's website, it now includes online purchasing capability. You can access the website on the Northampton Area High School's site using the quick link on the left side of the high school home page.

With the assistance of the high school administrative team, Tara Mrazik, marketing teacher and DECA advisor, first developed the Konkrete Korner in 2009 when the high school renovations allowed for the space needed to house the store.

The online purchases run through PayPal. Items can be picked up at the high school or shipped for a fee.

Visit the website at: http://konkretekorner.weebly.com/. Any questions regarding the Konkrete Korner website, please feel free to contact Tara Mrazik at:mrazikt@ nasdschools.org.
