On March 22nd, at the FIRST Robotics Competition Columbus District Event, Maitlen was honored with the prestigious Dean’s List Leadership Award. Among approximately 40 teams, each allowed to nominate only two students. Maitlen stood out as one of just two individuals selected to receive this distinction.
The FRC Dean’s List Leadership Award, formerly the Dean's List Award, the highest individual honor in the FIRST Robotics Competition, recognizes exceptional 10th–11th grade students who exemplify leadership, technical excellence, and a deep commitment to the mission and values of FIRST.
Maitlen’s dedication, talent, and leadership make her truly deserving of this recognition. We celebrate her success and look forward to all she will accomplish in the future!






Trystan brings so much more than lessons into his classroom, he brings passion and perspective. He creates an environment where students feel encouraged to think critically, engage with the world around them, and develop a deeper understanding of history and society. His classroom is a place where students feel respected, challenged, and inspired to grow both academically and personally.
The impact of a teacher like Trystan reaches far beyond the school walls. Through his dedication and guidance, he is helping shape informed, thoughtful citizens who will carry these lessons into the future.
We would also like to extend our thanks to the generous local businesses across Noble County who make this program possible: Scooter's Coffee - The Friendly Bean Team - Kendallville IN, Baker's Flowers and Gifts, Tasty's Donuts, El Fiesta Mexican Grill, and BettyLou Designs & Graphics. Your continued support allows us to shine a light on the educators who give so much of themselves to our community.
Please join us in celebrating Trystan McCreery on this truly well-deserved honor.

Last evening, East Noble High School hosted its annual Roots and Wings Banquet. An evening dedicated to celebrating the academic achievements of our top seniors. “Roots” represent the strong foundation provided by family, while “Wings” symbolize the knowledge, confidence, and inspiration given by teachers that empower students to pursue their dreams.
Each student had the opportunity to invite a special guest, a teacher or coach who has made a meaningful and lasting impact on their journey. It was a beautiful reminder of the relationships that help shape not only successful students, but remarkable individuals. Thank you to the teachers and coaches who have made a difference in these students’ lives: Mr. Robertson, Mr. Clark, Ms. Booth, Mrs. Asher, Mr. Liepe, Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Dewitt, Mr. Starkel, Mrs. Aumbaugh, and Mr. Wait.
Thank you to the parents, school board members, and administration who came together to recognize and celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of the Class of 2026.
Most importantly, congratulations to our seniors: Rylee Biddle, Gabriela Brinker, Nathan Cole, Macey Colin, Chloe Gibson, Boston Koons, Aaron Meek, Nathanial Schlotter, Amelia VanGessel, and Kylee Walz. Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have truly set you apart, and your futures are incredibly bright.
