A number of students were recognized by the board as well as three coaches who helped lead these student athletes in their success. Sophomore, Madeline Faikish, was the girls swimming and diving most valuable athlete and broke two school records as well as holding the title for 500 freestyle state champion. Brady Stanton was named MVP for the diving team and state champion for diving.

“It was very much a story of overcoming adversity and overachieving in a very very wonderful way for our team this year,” Coach Jeff Faikish stated.

Many residents within the district made public comments about their concern of the raising taxes that may stem from the renovation of North Penn High School.
