The Interboro School District's February 2025 School Board Meeting highlighted significant achievements and community engagement initiatives that resonate with local families.
One of the key discussions centered around the commendable efforts of the high school team, particularly in enhancing the program of studies. Board members praised the work of Mr. Litz and his team for exploring diverse educational pathways for students, emphasizing that not all graduates need to pursue college. This initiative aims to better prepare students for various career options, reflecting a growing recognition of the importance of vocational training alongside traditional academic routes.
In addition to academic advancements, the meeting celebrated the success of the high school girls' basketball team, led by Coach Jim Frisky. An upcoming event on February 5 will feature a game dedicated to breast cancer awareness, where over a hundred young girls from the Interborough youth club will attend. This initiative not only promotes sportsmanship but also fosters a sense of community and support for important health issues.
The board also shared exciting updates from winter sports, including Kylie Arnott's third consecutive district championship win and the wrestling team's achievement of winning the Del Vallee for the third year in a row. The growth of the cheerleading program, which recently participated in state championships, was also noted as a positive development for the district's athletic offerings.
Looking ahead, spring sports are set to begin on March 3, with a strong turnout for pre-physical events indicating robust student interest. The introduction of girls flag football as an official PIAA sport starting in July marks another milestone for the district, promoting inclusivity in athletics.
In recognition of excellence in education, biology teacher Nicole Warner received the Excellence in Teaching Award from the Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union Foundation, which includes funding for her classroom and the school.
The meeting concluded with excitement for the upcoming performance of "The Little Mermaid Junior," showcasing the hard work of middle and elementary students. These discussions and achievements reflect the Interboro School District's commitment to fostering a supportive and enriching environment for all students, preparing them for future success while engaging the community in meaningful ways.
