I hope that everyone is enjoying the Carbon County Student Column for all of our high Schools. This past week our students have been extremely busy, and some were unable to submit the news for their respective schools, but we will try to have full participation this coming week. Have a great St. Patrick’s Day everyone.

The winter sports season is reaching its closure, as the girls and boys basketball season came to a wrap on Saturday, Feb. 25.

Several girls of the wrestling team are scheduled to compete at the Girls Regional Wrestling Tournament at Parkland High School, including Haylee Fessler, Anelia Bennick and Brenda Banks. Despite the mixed weather, the spring sports season is officially kicking up. This includes track, softball, and baseball practices which will be beginning on March 6.

The Panther Valley Junior High annually competes in the “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing,” where groups visit local manufacturers and compose videos on the interviews and facts learned at their visit.

Over the last week, classrooms in the high school wing have been receiving some needed and appreciated improvements. Teachers have been temporarily relocating their classes as staff work to install new lights, ceiling tights, and fresh paint in each of the rooms.
