Welcome...
Mr. Exley teaches English, speaking & listening, oral interpretation, and Quaker Television at New Philadelphia High School.
Now in his 25th year of teaching, Mr. Exley began his career at Norwayne High School near Wooster, Ohio. In 1990, he moved to Fremont, Ohio, to teach at Fremont Ross High School under former NPHS principal Dave Aschenbach. At Norwayne and Fremont, he was responsible for various theatrical productions and the school newspaper.
In 1993, Mr. Exley (an NPHS 1982 alumnus) returned to New Philadelphia and began teaching Freshman English as well as serving as the Drama Club advisor and an assistant marching band director.
For the past nine years, Mr. Exley's Quaker Television class has produced a news program on PCM-TV2 out of New Philadelphia. "QtvNews on TV2" provides students the opportunity to learn speaking and interviewing skills as they report news and events to the community. Many past interviews may be found on the Quaker Television podcast page.
The news show plays every Sunday and Wednesday evening at 6:30pm on TV2.
Quaker Radio goes on the air...
Mr. Exley, together with with Mr. Born, NPHS custodian, has installed an AM radio microbroadcast transmitter at New Philadelphia High School.
This transmittier is a low powered transmitter operating at just 1/10 of a watt on AM1700(because of the low power, the transmitter may operate without an FCC license).
At 1/10 of a watt, the station may be heard in the immediate area around New Philadelphia High School. Under clear, sunny skies, Quaker Radio may reach between 1/2 to 1 mile from the high school. In the evening hours, our range is severly limited due to atmospheric changes and AM broadcast signals from distant stations.
Currently, the station is playing informational interviews conducted by the Quaker Television class at NPHS.
Our Coverage area is shown on the map below. The red circle indicates the coverage on a clear sunny day. Best reception is indicated by the green circle. Coverage varies greatly depending on weather conditions and the quality of the car radio used.
