Congratulations to four of our scholars from Decatur and Thomas Jefferson High School for their success and advancing to the WIAA Girls Swimming and Diving State Championships.

Congratulations to seventh-grade scholar, Toa McConville from Illahee Middle School, for placing 3^rd in the Legacy Fire Knife competition in Hawaii and 3^rd in Utah.

Toa achieved this remarkable feat despite being the youngest in the 12 through 17-year-old division and against scholars from Hawaii, New Zealand, and across the United States.

Toa will move on to compete in the World Knife Championships in Samoa where he will be facing off against scholars from all over the world. 

Congratulations to Decatur High School scholars Joshua Carter and Zaire Jarmon for earning the National College Resources Foundation (NCRF) Scholarship Award at the 6^th Annual Seattle Black College Expo event.

At the event, scholars had the opportunity to meet with college representatives from historically Black colleges and universities, and other institutions. Josh and Zaire received the scholarships during the event and were selected based on their essay application on the topic of “Why is a College Education Important?”

Additionally, one scholar from each grade level with perfect attendance for the week gets a shout out during morning announcements, a picture taken to be shared on their Facebook page and on their school bulletin board and receives a PAW to be entered into the daily PAW drawing to win prizes.
