This afternoon, East Noble High School seniors returned to Wayne Center Elementary School, walking the halls that helped shape so many of their earliest memories. Welcomed by cheering students and smiling staff, the seniors had the chance to reconnect, share laughs at recess, and reflect on just how far they’ve come. Traditions like these remind us that once a Knight, always a Knight.










Today, the East Noble High School Class of 2026 gathered for their cap and gown group photo, marking a special milestone in their senior year. From classrooms to friendships and unforgettable memories, this class has made its mark in so many ways. The future is bright for these seniors, and their Knight family couldn’t be prouder.





Last evening’s East Noble Middle School Showcase was a wonderful celebration of the incredible talents, creativity, and hard work of our students throughout the year. From the outstanding performances by the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Bands, Color Guard, and Choir to the impressive displays from Project Lead the Way, Robotics, Family and Consumer Science, Art, and Ceramics classes, every hallway was filled with pride and inspiration. It was especially meaningful to see students confidently sharing their accomplishments and creations with families and the community. The showcase was a perfect reminder of all that has been achieved this school year as we look ahead to its exciting conclusion.










Congratulations to East Noble High School students Aiva Gallup, Elyssa Bender, Hunter Weaver, and Mila Halmagyi for being recognized as Impact Institute's 2nd Semester Outstanding Students in their respective programs! Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence continue to make East Noble proud. We celebrate their achievements and look forward to all they will accomplish in the future!
