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.

Yesterday was an electrifying day at East Noble Middle School as it was the opening rounds of the annual Mentor Madness Tug of War competition! Students teamed up, and were coached by their KnightTime teachers and mentors, battling it out competing in a spirited and fun-filled showdown across grade levels. The finals will take place this Friday afternoon.
Last evening was a fantastic time at Wayne Center Elementary School during Fine Arts Night. The halls were filled with incredible artwork created by the students, showcasing their creativity and hard work. Families then enjoyed a wonderful spring concert, “Welcome to the Jungle,” performed by Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grade students. It was truly a great evening celebrating the dedication and talent growing in their fine arts classes.
