Congratulations to Caroline Small who qualified a second time for State in Forensics in Program Oral Interpretation. Way to go Caroline!
Attention Tiger Fans! Unsportsmanlike incidents happened at Perry on Tuesday night in both crowds. These events have been investigated and have been addressed at Perry-Lecompton. I was updated last evening that the locker room perpetrator has been removed from further attendance and an apology was passed to me for the unsettling parking lot actions. This was addressed to both administration and fans, so I have included it.
Forensics participants doing great! Congratulations to Carolyn Small, Natalie Meyer, and Leena Turner, who have all qualified for STATE! Caroline will compete in Prose at state, while Natalie and Leena will compete in Duet Acting. Pictured are Natalie and Leena with medals from the league competition. State competition will take place in May. Good luck with the rest of your season, ladies.

The Big 7 League and Mid-East League Seek Merger
Administration from the Big 7 and Mid-East Leagues have met and are communicating in regard to a potential merger of these historically successful high school conferences. School representatives seek the merger to improve scheduling logistics, increase academic and extracurricular opportunities, and further elevate the reputations these two tremendous leagues already possess.
The Mid-East League, formed in 1948, currently consists of Riley County, Rock Creek, Rossville, Silver Lake, St. Marys, and Wabaunsee, with Rock Creek departing to join the NCKL at the end of the 2023-2024 school year.
The Big 7, formed in 1926, currently consists of Hiawatha, Holton, Jefferson West, Nemaha Central, Perry-Lecompton, Riverside, Royal Valley, and Sabetha with Riverside leaving at the end of the 2023-2024 school year.
The two leagues will continue to meet independently and collaboratively to work towards a potential merger with the possibility of competition to begin during the 2024-2025 school year.
