🎓🎓 It's the last week for your 2021 Seniors! Here is a run down of what will be going on! 🎓🎓
Each year the Flint Hills League competition continues to get stronger and this year was no exception. There were some clear highlights among some very nice performances that set the stage for next week’s State qualifying Regional meet at Pleasanton. Taryn Compton becoming a League Champion by running her first 100m hurdles race since 2019 was thoroughly incredible and her 2nd place finish in the 300m hurdles brought a nice boost for the team. Among the other personal bests by Nikita, Ryan, and Carson, Luke Cotter shaved over 17 seconds off of his 3200m time in his final League meet as a senior. For some, next week will be the final meet of the season. For everyone, however, the journey that brought us this far has been one to remember and one that fostered growth, friendships, and sets the stage for future endeavors.

Dakota Pendleton is the daughter of Tonya Lankard and Osby Pendleton. During Dakota’s time here at Central Heights High School she was an active member of FFA, FCCLA, and a member of the Volleyball and Softball teams. After graduation, Dakota plans to attend Fort Scott Community College to study cosmetology starting in July. Dakota’s fondest memory at Central Heights will be counting down the days to get out! Her advice to the underclassmen would be, “Do your work! Also, I promise high-school won’t be the best years of your life, no matter who tells you that. Things will get better.” Congratulations Dakota! You made it! We are excited for you to start the next chapter of your life.
Kennz McCleary is the daughter of Mark and Pamela McCleary.

The advice Crais would like to give to the underclassmen is, “Don't overload yourself with school activities. Always have time for both homework and your own free time. If you hang out with five smart people, you become the sixth. If you hang out with five idiots, you become the sixth. Choose your groups wisely. It's okay to not know something.” Congratulations Crais! We are looking forward to what you will accomplish in your next chapter!

Cheyanne’s advice to underclassmen would be, “High School is not that big of a deal. What happens isn't going to matter in a few years so just take care of yourself.” Congratulations Cheyanne! We are proud of your accomplishments and wish you all the best for your future.
The Baseball team held their annual banquet last night where we got to recognize all of our players, and especially our seniors Cass Burroughs, Brady Burson, Hunter Bones, and Cauy Newell. It was great to be able to get together with everyone and share how much these young men have accomplished through the years! Go Vikings!!!!
