Over the summer, senior Maddie Maust participated in the Summer Readiness Program.

"This program gave me the chance to explore what I might want (or not want) to do as a future career, while also teaching me to embrace change in my life. I got to visit so many places I never even knew were in Johnstown, Ebensburg, Somerset, Windber, and Bedford. Through this experience, I realized I can make new friends from other schools, give back through community service, have fun, and even present in front of a group from Sustainable Pittsburgh!"

Elk and Volleyball apparel are on sale now. Orders and money are due to Ms. Stutzman by September 10, 2025.

She taught high school English in West Virginia for 12 years, while also sponsoring student activities and completing her Master’s in English Education.
