HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS PROGRAM

The regular high school football season is now over! But wait there is more!! Summit HS and Bend HS will participate in the Playoffs! Congratulations! Stay tuned for opportunities to assist with program/Roster handouts.

This past week was a busy one for the Sports Program Committee. During the home games for Caldera HS and Bend HS two students from each school were honored for their community service. All the students considered for this award had impressive community service activity. The standouts that were honored during the halftime event (see below) were extremely impressive!
