Homecoming Game

On the first Friday of October, our Cougars played a tough football game against the Burgettstown Blue Devils. Lead by coach Rich
Piccinini, the Cougars took a loss of 47-0. Though this news maybe
disappointing, something that might brighten your mood could be
the thought of the 2019 Homecoming King and Queen. 
Those honors go to Dallas Paolino and Maggie Reigle. Congratulations! I would also like to
congratulate the students who were selected for Homecoming court.
Congrats to Nick Cindrich, Erin Fox, Jada Lee, Makayla Linn,
Dakota Mayfield, Ainsley Pearce, Mark Phillips, and Evan Staker.  
Dallas Paolino, our homecoming king, won our team 115 yds, but
sadly no touchdowns. On the defensive side #51, Ben Ray, made 7
solo tackles. Because of these awesome plays, the Devils only had
14 points in the first quarter, 10 in the second, 16 in the third and 7 in the fourth.
To someone who doesn’t understand the sport this would be a very
disappointing loss; football is a back and forth sport, but those of
us who have been watching for the whole fall season know that the
Cougars can and will make a comeback. Spectator Quinland
Delrosario says, “Our team has success within them. They can win,
and will, because they just have that fighting spirit.  Practice makes
success and with a little more practice they will be able to destroy
any team that comes their way. I’m proud to march for our Cougars and I can’t wait for our next
game.  Let’s show them what we’re made of!” So cheer them on for their next game at Brentwood!

The Eco-Challenge at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the percentage of environmental scientists and ecologists is steadily growing. Part of the reason could easily be the increasing number of botanical gardens around the world and the number of activities for children inside of them. Carlynton School District is lucky to have a garden less than 20 minutes from its community. Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens was constructed in 1893 as a gift to the city of Pittsburgh. Including this year, and five years prior, our local conservatory has hosted a middle school and high school event called the Eco-Challenge. This educational event teaches of the different works and wonders an environmental scientist can do to make real and positive change in the world. This year approximately 25 students in grades 6, 7, and 8 in the Gifted and Enrichment program attended the Eco Challenge at Phipps on September 12, 2019. Next to Phipps is a school-sized building powered entirely by solar power. In t

Spanish Students of the Month

A student of the month is an individual who shows an outstanding work of determination and responsibility. The Spanish teacher, Mrs. Rusinko, has been seeking for those qualities in students over the past month. Since 2014, Carlynton Jr. Sr. High School has been hosting Spanish classes with Mrs. Rusinko. These students get to pick from a list of Spanish names and are called that when somebody needs their attention. During this class, students explore a world of unique cultures and learn about the diversity between many Spanish countries and the United States. The Spanish students of the months, Bridget (Lola) Maloy, Clara (Diego) Keller, Leah, (Celia) Zielinski, and Shelby (Gabriela) Palmer have shown a great deal of hard work and dedication throughout the month. They have put a lot of time and effort into becoming exceptional individuals. Being chosen as a student of the month is quite an honor and these student should be proud. Olivia Thompson 7t

Homecoming Dance

Homecoming is something many people look forward to during their high school years. For the Sophomores, it's one of the first traditional dances they’re invited to. For Juniors, it's a celebration of growing up, a right of passage. And for Seniors, it's one of the last big dances they attend before graduation, and a chance to run for Homecoming King or Queen. Homecoming court always creates a stir among students, be it underclassmen wondering which running seniors will win titles, or hopeful voters eager to see if their favorite candidate will be crowned King or Queen.  This year, however, Homecoming elections sparked a very different conversation among students. Initially scheduled for  Friday's pep rally, the heavily anticipated  announcements of King and Queen were postponed until the Homecoming football game at the last minute. Mr. Loughren teased students on stage with an envelope holding the King and Queen winners, building suspense before announcing
