K-12 Physical Education
 Welcome! My name is Emily Bernhardt and I am a Pittsburg Alumni (Class of 1998). In 2002, I graduated from Keene State College with a BS in Physical Education Teacher Cert. K-12. Then in Oct. of 2013, I graduated from Kaplan University with my second degree, a BS in Health & Wellness. I have started my 18th year of teaching here at Pittsburg School. I have the privilege of being able to work with all students, I teach K-12 Physical Education.  | Along with teaching I’m on the Wellness committee here at our school and the founder of the TEEN-Cook-off. This program was a great way to bring together our community and school. It was established in Pittsburg in 2011. Then a year or so later the Cook-off went SAU 7 wide, Pittsburg, Stewartstown and Colebrook. In 2014, I teamed up with Stacey Purslow from UNH Farm to school program and we took this program state wide in 2016-2017 school year. On January 7, 2016 I went to present this program-NH TEEN Cook-off to Commissioner Barry and the New Hampshire Board of Education. The Board unanimously voted to endorse the NH TEEN Cook-off. It is great to think that our little school helped to establish a program that is state wide.
