The Preston County Board of Education recognized three groups for their accomplishments during the day time board of education meeting on Monday, November 13, 2023. The groups recognized were: The Preston High School Girls Cross Country Team (placed 2nd in Big 10 and ranked 4th overall in state meet) & Boys Cross Country State Qualifier - Damian Rumer. The girls team includes (name and grade): Ella White (12), Hallie Simmons (11), Hannah Liston (10), Autumn Myers (10), Delilah Myers (10), Leighton Biermann (9), Ava Simmons (9), and alternate Sophia Saurino (9). Also recognized was PHS Cross Country Coach Paul Martin.
The next group recognized was PHS FFA members and their teachers - Mrs. Samantha Funk and Mr. Terry Hauser. Mrs. Funk was recognized for achieving the Honorary American FFA Degree (a story concerning this honor is posted on prestonboe.com under News) earlier this month at the national convention in Indianapolis. According to Hauser, "it is a cherished tradition [for students] to make the trip [to the national convention]...and this year the convention was just shy of 73,000 registrations. It is a privilege to take our rural youth to the big city and let them experience all that has to offer." Funk added that while in Indianapolis, students were able to see a rodeo, tour Fair Oaks Farm (producers of Fair Life Milk) (where they have 3,000 cows and 9,000 hogs), and make new friends from across the state and country."
And the final group recognized was the PCS Transportation Department for ranking 4th out of 55 counties in the state for proficiency (see story at prestonboe.com under News).
