Today the Indiana State Board of Education officially voted to remove arts education from all levels of the high school diploma beginning with the class of 2029 (this year’s 8th graders). While we at Whitko will continue to offer the best possible arts education to our students, and our students to come, we need your help and support now more than ever! Any chance you get to support arts students at Whitko will show that you value arts education and wish for it to continue regardless of what is “required” for high school graduation. Arts education impacts ALL students, regardless of their direct participation in the arts, so make a statement by supporting those that do participate for the sake of your school, your community, and your state!

We fought hard but our season has come to a close. This year’s group worked so incredibly hard and accomplished so much. For such a young group to do so well gives us much hope for the future of the Marching Pride. Congratulations to our senior class on their final performance, and congratulations to the whole Marching Pride on yet another fantastic season!
