 The
Newport Business Institute was founded in 1895 by Professor
Harry Sayre and was then known as “Sayre Business College.”
The name was later changed to “New Kensington Commercial
School” to more properly identify the school with the
geographic
area it served. The name was registered in Westmoreland
County and in Harrisburg, the state capital. Since acquiring
an
additional school in Williamsport, the names of the two schools
were combined to create our new name, “Newport Business
Institute.”
Subsequent administrators of the school were
Miss Rosetta
Turner, Professor Dinninger, Mr. Harry Gould, Mrs. Bertha Kile,
Dr. Joseph J. Pallone, and Dr. Harry E. Ryan. In 1973 New
Kensington Commmercial School was purchased and formed
into the Mullen Corporation under the laws of Pennsylvania.
The school was administered by Robert J. Mullen. On January
2, 1990, J. Bryant Mullen and Michelle L. Mullen purchased the
Mullen Corporation and the Newport Business Institute. J. Bryant
Mullen, the president of Newport Business Institute, brought
many
years of experience in education and business to the institution.
Neither subsidized nor endowed, the two-year business training
institution is entirely dependent for its continuance and success
upon the quality of its training as evidenced by the achievement
of its graduates.
Newport Business Institute is located at 945
Greensburg Road.
It moved to its present location in September 1975. It serves
the
research and industrially oriented Allegheny-Kiski Valley, which
borders Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
