Senior named Indiana Academic All-Star |
Senior Allen Kruer is seeing his hard work pay off. He has focused on doing his best in the classroom while also getting involved in various extracurricular activities. As the top-ranked senior in his class, he was nominated for consideration as an Indiana Academic All-Star. Last week, he learned he was one of 40 seniors in the state to receive the award presented by the Indiana Association of School Principals.
Allen said he is proud to receive the award, especially since there are only 40 recipients. Each school in the state is able to nominate a student who excels in the classroom while also being actively involved in their school and community.

Cheer team finishes season at basketball sectional |
|
By Coach Christie Evanczyk '09
The cheerleaders wrapped up their season at the Boys Basketball sectional finals at Southwestern. While it was a tough loss, they were so proud of their basketball team and really enjoyed cheering the players on this season. The cheerleaders were also able to cheer on the Girls Basketball team during their home games this season.
While it was not a normal season for anyone, we certainly made the best of it. We are so grateful for the season we were able to have, and the girls proved to be very resilient through it all. We are so thankful for the time we had together and for our three seniors, Mia Duggins, Laura Strahm, and Carissa Lancaster. We wish them the best of luck in their final quarter of school and their future endeavors.
We are looking forward to starting a new season with tryouts later this month. Tryout dates have been set for April 26-28. For more information on tryouts, please email providencehscheer@gmail.com.

Telling the story of a family miracle |
|
Greg Hublar ’86 and his brothers Mike ’82 and Todd ’93 never saw their brother Mark (Hon. ’20) as being any different than the three of them despite his being born with Down syndrome. Because his family always included him in everything, from wrestling on the living room floor or backyard sports, to playing on organized sports teams, Mark Hublar desired to be just like his brothers.
Greg Hublar has published the story of Mark’s accomplishments as a way to create a retirement fund for his brother while also helping out organizations that supported Mark in various ways. A Miracle Named Mark is for sale on Mark’s website, Mark Hublar Speaks, which primarily promotes Mark’s business as a motivational speaker. |
