Thirty students who attend the EVSC’s Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center (SICTC) qualified for the SkillsUSA State Competition after qualifying at the regional competition at Vincennes University earlier this month. The state competition will take place April 12 and 13 in Indianapolis.

SICTC is comprised of more than 700 students from the southern half of Spencer County and all of Gibson, Posey, Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties.  Students receive half-day classroom and hands-on training in 18 diverse areas of study using the latest emerging technologies and equipment, while still attending their home school.

Double lung transplant patient Noah James of Boonville High School, has been nominated by the Indiana High School Athletic Association for the National High School Spirit of Sport Award, an honor sponsored annually by the Indianapolis-based National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).

The award seeks to recognize those individuals who exemplify the ideals of the positive spirit of sport that represent the core mission of education-based athletics. James’ ability to overcome both the challenges of Asperger Syndrome and a life-threatening lung disease was chosen from 19 nominations from around the state.

A swimmer at BHS, Noah will be entered into regional competition with those nominees being considered for the national award by the NFHS. The overall national winner will be recognized at the NFHS Summer Meetings in Denver, CO in June.

Due to an internet issue, report cards will be delayed until Monday, January 7 for the eight affected schools listed below:

Castle High School

Castle North Middle School

Castle South Middle School

John H. Castle Elementary School
