During the last regular season basketball game on February 24, 2017, fans and players took time out to help honor Pat McAfee as he was awarded the 1st ever Northeast Kansas League Outstanding Service Award.  This award was created to honor those retired or retiring league administrators who provided exceptional service to the NEKL and other leagues in which they were involved.  Mr. McAfee has served the area schools for over 40 years as a teacher, coach, activities director and administrator, providing outstanding service and leadership to those area schools and leagues.  Because of his commitment to provide the best possible services to students, schools and associated leagues, the Northeast Kansas League chose to present  George “Pat” McAfee with the 1st ever  Northeast Kansas League Outstanding Service Award.


Nomination for this distinguished award was made by Dave Norman, Horton Principal and Northeast Kansas League President.  In his nomination, Mr. Norman cited that Pat would go out of his way to help out the league with any schedule or venue changes needed and would help with any event in whatever capacity needed.  His insight, experience and organizational skills were instrumental in outstanding management of league, sub-state and regional events.
   

Helping with the presentation of the plaque identifying his outstanding service to the league was Mark Ross, Horton HS Activities Director as well as Pat’s granddaughter, Kaitlyn McAfee, a Horton High Junior and basketball team member.  Congratulations Pat!!!!!

USD 430 Summer Drivers Education

3/14/2017

2 Comments

 
U.S.D. #430 Summer Drivers Education

    Drivers Education applications for the 2017 summer drivers education program at USD #430 are currently available at the Horton High School office and from Rodney Clay, teacher at the Everest Middle School.
Why take Driver’s Ed? Several reasons come to mind: Some insurance companies give discounts for students taking Drivers Ed, it allows students that do not have access to farm permits to drive “solo” to school and work before they are seventeen, as passing Drivers Education is one the requirements needed to get a restricted permit, and the students gain knowledge about laws and driving skills that are not normally gained by just driving.
    Return the completed application and the $150.00 for any student that attends U.S.D. #430, or $200.00 for students that do not attend U.S.D. # 430 course fee to the Horton High School office by Friday, April 28, 2017.  
The classroom portion of class will be Monday, June 5 to Friday, June 16 from  8:30-11:30 am.  Students are required to be in class the entire time for ten class periods. Only two make up days are available (June 19 - 20).
Students will also be required to attend a minimum of six driving times to complete the behind the wheel objectives. Students must be fourteen years of age on or before June 5, 2017 to enroll in the course.
    Applications for the 2017 Drivers Education course are available at the Horton High School office or from Rodney Clay at the Everest Middle School.
      If you have any questions please feel free to call Rodney Clay, Drivers Education teacher either at the Everest Middle School 548-7536 or home at 486-2741
