On Tuesday, April 30th two french classes met to learn from eachother, except one was across the ocean. Madame Boudart’s Honors 3 French class had the oppurtunity to have a Zoom meeting with a similar class, except they live in France.
While Madame Boudart’s class had been learning French for the past three years, these French students had been learning English. Madame Boudart has been working and speaking with Madame Dufour, the French classes’ teacher, for three years now. This was the first y...

A tale as old as time was being told at the Civic Theatre in Allentown by a large cast of students who brought the story to life. Beauty and the Beast Jr. is a shortened version of the original Disney movie, that follows Belle as she falls in love with the grizzly Beast. The show was in the theater from April 4th through April 7th.

This year’s 2024 Parkland Prom will take place earlier than it has in recent years, falling in th...

On March 22nd Parkland High School held their first pep rally in two years. This time around, the school was celebrating the Parkland Boy’s Basketball Team and their achievement at reaching states.

Unlike the last time a pep rally occurred, this time around it took place during the last hour of the school day. The periods throughout the day were shortened, using a modified...

The newest school calendar for the 2024-2025 school year was recently approved by the school board. This calendar brings along a new day off for the students and a larger winter break than has been seen in a very long time.

The swish of the net. The cheers of students and spectators alike echoing across the court. The pounding and telltale squeaks of sneakers across wooden flooring. These are only a few of the sensations that could be felt on the two nights that seniors Talia Zurinskas and Maddie Siggins scored their 1000th point. 
On December 27th, 2023, during the Parkland Girl’s Basketball team’s games against Blue Mountain, Zurinskas scored her 1000th point in her basketball career with a three-pointer. When as...
