2022 Spring Senior Retreat

By Cora Roman On Friday, March 4th, the Senior Class of 2022 took a field trip to the Alden Liberty to work on their portfolios.

Lancer Boys Triumph

Lancer Boys Triumph

by Jozlyn Bew It’s official, the Trimble Tomcats’s record has been broken by Federal Hocking’s own basketball team in a gripping buzzer beater!
