Spring break has arrived, but winter sports are still alive. I can't think of a better way to start your spring break than with a road trip to Dunmore, PA to support our Varsity Girls’ Basketball Team as they compete in their first PIAA State Playoff game! The team will play vs. Old Forge High School and tip-off is set for 7:00 pm.
After a great District meet last weekend, our swim team continues their preparation for the PIAA State meet that will take place at Bucknell University on Friday, March 13th and Saturday, March 14th.
