Northampton Area High School's School Store, the Konkrete Korner, now has online purchasing power.

Northampton High School went online with their school store, the Konkrete Korner. This website allows the community to access 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, the new format allows the space needed to house the store. The school store was primarily developed to provide non-athletes with access to Konkrete Kids merchandise.

The school store has become successful over the years with the support of high school students, faculty, staff and administration. The online purchases run through PayPal. Items can be picked up at the high school or shipped for a fee.

The goal of this website is to make purchasing Northampton merchandise more convenient for the community and increase Konkrete Kid spirit.

The high school is enthusiastic about the website. Visit the website at http://konkretekorner.weebly.com.
