Central Community School Track & Field Teams.
Last night the Central Torch Chapter of the National Honor Society held their Induction Ceremony. Central’s chapter recognized 5 students who demonstrated their qualities of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The inductees are Ashlyn Scherf, Reese Berns, Tori Sylvester, Vaughn Zittergruen, and Layla Embretson. The guest speaker was Ann Gibney. As a past Central teacher, Ann gave a very memorable speech about what TGIF really means and gave a pop quiz at the end of her speech to review with the new inductees what they learned about TGIF. Thank you Mrs. Gibney for spending the evening with us and Congratulations to all the new NHS members!
Mr. Wiley and these four Central Seniors received the Carrie Chapman Catt Award today from Secretary of State Paul Pate. They were able to tour the capitol and even got a chance to see Governor Reynolds sign a bill into law. They also toured and sat in the Speaker’s chair of the House chambers.
In 2019, Secretary of State Paul Pate kicked off a new voter registration initiative aimed at Iowa high school students. Every school in Iowa that signs up and registers at least 90% of their eligible students to vote received the Carrie Chapman Catt Award. This is the third consecutive year that Mr. Wiley has received this award and recognition. Nice work, Warriors!

Central Community FFA hosted their annual awards banquet this past Saturday. Fifty two FFA members were in attendance and over one hundred and twenty guests, including parents and other family members. The students prepared a meal that was served in the gymnasium and the awards ceremony followed in the auditorium. Students were recognized for the career development events, leadership development events, academic achievement, fundraising efforts, and chapter appreciation. The very first American FFA Degree of the formerly known Elkader FFA, Duane Klink, shared his insight on FFA from the late 1950's. He received his Iowa FFA Degree in 1957 and his American FFA Degree in 1960. It was an honor to hear about his experience in the FFA!
This was a great event and we're still hearing wonderful things about the night! Kudos to Mrs. Bond, the FFA students and all who contributed to the event!
