CWCTC Field Trip
Written by Jena Morris
9th-grade students had an opportunity to visit the Central Westmoreland Career and Technology Center (CWCTC) to explore the hands-on career options it had to offer. Students got to explore three programs of their choice, allowing them to center on areas that matched their interests and career goals, while learning about how vo-tech can also provide the education they need to prepare them for their future careers. Many students stated that they enjoyed their visit to The CWCTC and found it helpful as they began to decide or rethink course selections and future goals.
NAHS Field Trips
Written by Izabella Seaton
The Students of the National Art Honor Society took a field trip to the towns of West Newton and Herminie to paint on the windows of local businesses. They spread Christmas cheer among the town, each student helping to create a unique piece of art on the window they were assigned! In West Newton, Juniors Ava Diets, Cassidy Ostrander, Cheyanne Lape, and Shiley Bold showed the community their creative designs, including the Grinch, Snoopy, and an adorable gingerbread scene! The following week, the club took a trip to our local Herminie. Students Hannah Sullenberger and Taylor Aiello took on painting on the windows of a local salon, The Magic Mirror. They showed their talents through a beautiful pink scene, making the windows truly pop! Of course, this trip wouldn’t have been possible without the leadership from the NAHS Officers, president Anna Lindner, vice president Hannah Sullenberger, secretary Mona Brooks, treasurer Joelle McCallen, and NAHS leader Mr. Stofko!

Yale Competitions
Written by Cassidy Ostrander
During the first half of the year, the Yough gifted students, under the guidance of Mr. German, participated in several enriching competitions. Among them were Pumpkin Drop, Model UN, Quizbowl, and, recently, Game Jam. Notably, at Quizbowl, the JV team got first place, and the Varsity team got second. Great job to those who participated! The second semester of the 2025-2026 school year is already looking promising for the students in YALE, offering just as many opportunities as the first semester did.
