🌟 Congratulations to Maddie Kolenc on Making the NAFME All-East Honor Orchestra! 🌟
On Saturday, December 7th, Yough High School’s KD Quiz show team (formerly Hometown High Q) won their first round match against Elizabeth Forward and New Castle. The match was close throughout, but Yough was the only team to answer both Math questions correctly in Round 4. This gave the Cougars the lead, and they maintained their position in front through Round 5. The team consists of Sydney Scherich (Grade 12), Jack Kopp (Grade 12), and Blake Sullivan (Grade 11) and is coached by Mr. Frank German (high school teacher). The team will play in Round two of the quiz tournament at some point after the Holidays and will be televised. KDKA will re-air the Cougars first round victory this upcoming Saturday, December 14th, at 11:30 AM on KDKA TV2.
The high school art department needs your vote! It is that time again to vote for their snowplow for Penn Dot’s Paint the Plow contest! This year’s design features our high school principal and the cougar mascot as they ‘Use Their Reason When It’s Freezin’ by practicing safe driving habits.
