We are so proud our Raiders and our community! With each unit collected, one or more of our senior NHS members have an opportunity to earn a scholarship.

The Scholastic Bowl teams both were victorious last night against South Pekin. In very close B match, the Raiders pulled ahead late in the match with Brooklyn answering 3 toss up questions to win 150 to 115. The A match was a dominant victory of 195 to 45 with Audrey and Jackson both answering 3 questions themselves. Mr. Bernhardt is proud of how the team has grown and not afraid to attempt to answer questions. The Raiders look to continue the winning streak next week against Rankin.
