Taking a Look Back

As we begin the last nine weeks of the school year, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on some of our students' accomplishments that occurred during the first half of this semester.

Both of our basketball teams wrapped up successful seasons. The girls team, led by all-county team selection Angeles Engel, finished third in their division with a record of 8-7 with many of those loses coming by less than a handfull of points. Jordan Mueller also received all-tournament honors. The boys, led by all-county team members Ryan Hatten and Kody Timmons, finished the year with an impressive 16-1 record which was good enough to put them at the top of their division. The boys then capped off their season by winning the county tournament. In the course of their tournament run, Eli Duncan, Sawyer Taylor, and Nash Young garnered all-tournament team selctions.

Our students also excelled artistically. Chris Janas on trombone, Braeden Johnson on percussion, Kody Okert on trombone, Richard Reiger on trumpet,  and Daniel Samoila on horn all were named members of the all-county band.  Olivia Crick was also honered as she was awarded Best in Show for the Middle School division at the Hendersonville Arts Council Sumner County Art Exhibit for her landscape painting seen below.

 

In other news worth noting  our own Darren Depena finished third in the Middle Tennessee State Spelling Bee. Darren won the school's spelling bee and finished second at the county level before representing us at state. Also T.W. Hunter was well represented at this year's Invention Convention at MTSU by a group of six graders (seen below). Many of whom brought home hardware.

Congratulation to all of our students, teachers, and coaches. All of your hardwork is paying off. Keep making us proud!
