SSG Magdalena Tyson poses with ceiling tiles made by various art students and Illustrator's Club members. The recruiting office requested ceiling tiles based on two themes- patrioitism and school spirit. These ceiling tiles will be displayed and mounted at the Army Recruiting Office in State College.

Congratulations to all graduating students and their families!

This 2023-2024 school year CNB provided grant funding for credited dual enrollment courses. Extra materials and supplies were purchased including large format printers, science tech, dissection tools, textbooks, new art supplies, and much more were all purchased for qualifying courses.

Thanks CNB Bank!
