Senior Year Expectations For The 2021-22 School Year

By Makaila Work ~ Homepage Editor ~ May 2021

A majority of us students and teachers know how terrible the year 2020 treated us. Many students lost many cherishable memories due to the pandemic. Now we are left thinking, “What is our future going to hold?” Is a normal school year ever going to be possible again, or is this our new normal?

I created a survey and shared it with the rising seniors. The questions I asked were based on opinion and not so much factual information. I feel everyone should be open to share their thoughts and feelings of this past school year. I chose the class of 2022 mainly because I am a part of this class and have only experienced one normal year while the past two school years for them have been chaotic. In the future, I will try to create a survey based on the underclassmen’s experience throughout this pandemic.

With only receiving 14 responses I feel I’ve gathered enough information to write a report on the juniors experience.

Rating The School Year

(1 being the worst 10 being the best.)

4 out of 14 students rated their junior year a three, 3 out of 14 rated their school year a five, 3 out of 14 rated their school year a four, 2 out of 14 rated their school year a one, 1 out of 14 rated their school year a 7, and 1 out of 14 rated their school year a 2.

As we all can see, students have mixed emotions about this school year. Some are better than others.

Students also miss normalcy. They want to be in school full time, they want to have assemblies, they want to not have to wear the mask or worry about social distancing. Overall what I am saying is they hope they can all have a normal senior year. They do not want to keep missing out on our trips, social events, etc. As the pandemic moved forward, students felt the loss of more valuable, cherished memories.

Thinking Ahead

Next school year students are hoping that some of the guidelines are lifted. They all know they will still have to wear the mask, but hopefully, once more people are vaccinated things will become less enforced.

Students miss having their regularly scheduled school dances. Participating in school dances and the student section creates so many new bonds and cherishable memories that will always stick with a person even after graduation. It is important to take in and participate in these types of events!

Traveling To Away Games

Our students would also like to be able to go to away games as a group again. I myself as a cheerleader would like to be able to go to the away games again. I felt this season for me was boring in a way because the best part of away games is the bus rides and bonding time with your team. They all understand that there will still be limitations, but they want to feel included.

Goals You Want To Achieve

The main goal most of the rising seniors have right now is graduating and moving forward in the path of life. Sure, growing up seems like the best thing ever, but it’s scary if you truly think about it. Right now they are trying to decide what they want to do after high school and if they will succeed doing this. They need to slow down and enjoy the moment and take in all the excitement and enjoy still being young.

What did you miss the most this school year?

A majority of our students missed out on being included in sporting events. Our students enjoy the pep rallies that the cheerleaders and other staff members put together for Friday’s home games. They also missed out on being a part of the student section. Students wanted to be inside the fences rather than outside them because being excluded makes you feel like an outsider.

Remembering Elizabeth M. Lubert

By Makaila Work ~ Homepage Editor ~ April 2021

Today we fondly remember Elizabeth M. Lubert, who was, upon her passing, a sophomore at Northern Cambria High School.

It is with great sadness that we recall her passing, yet it is with heartfelt remembrance that we reflect on the goodness she shared while with us. Liz’s kindness, creativity, and contributions will forever be a part of who we are at NC.

Born on November 5th, 2003, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to the loving parents of Andrew “Andy” Lubert & Beth (Huber) Lubert of Northern Cambria. Liz also left behind a younger brother by the name of Andrew “AJ” Lubert.

Elizabeth transferred to the Northern Cambria High School in the 2018-19 school year as a freshman. Before her arrival at Northern Cambria High School, Liz attended the Catholic School of Holy Name Catholic Church. While attending the NC, Liz kept her grades commendable and in good standing. “Liz generally was an honor roll student,” her mom stated, “She struggled with math which kept her off high honors. All of her other grades were always in the ’90s.”

Liz was also a part of many extracurricular activities, including the Northern Cambria Color Guard, Marching Band, Choir, TSA, and Reading Team. Outside of school, Liz was in the Girl Scouts.

In her free time, Liz liked to cook and bake with the new recipes she found and shared the items she made with her family and friends. At a young age, she learned how to sew and to make costumes. Both Liz and her father, Andy, had a passion for music. Liz had learned to play the ukulele and acoustic guitar throughout her 16 years of life. Liz was very interested in nature and enjoyed growing plants at her home.

Elizabeth also had an interest in the movie & film industry. People that knew her could most definitely see that Liz had a huge interest in Marvel. Liz’s activities and hobbies gave her creative opportunities and a chance to share her talents with others.

Sadly, on April 26, 2020, Elizabeth passed away due to health complications. Liz’s unique and bright personality is remembered by all who knew her. She is truly missed by the NC school and community.
