placement of bread crumbs after <h1>

We are reviewing a new design for our website from our contractors.

A test page can be seen here http://sbctc.edu/redesign/high-school.html

I'm wondering about the location of the breadcrumb navigation. I already have documented that it needs a <nav> tag around it, but I'm wondering about it's placement after the <h1> heading. It LOOKS nice to me as a sighted person to have that nicely styled h1, but semantically, it seems weird to have navigation after the <h1>.

I'd be interested in your opinions as to whether this is truly an accessibility issue, or just a little odd.

Thank you,
