Education

Rain, sleet nor snow days will keep the Grant County High School National Honor Society from letting the Navy know they are appreciated.
The students, and their advisors, Kristie Northcutt and Emily Figueroa, challenged students in third hour classes, teachers and staff to bring in items, such as body wash, shampoo, dental floss, writing paper, binders and batteries, black pens and pencils.

New Orleans may lay claim to professional trumpet player Wynton Marsalis, but Grant County Middle School has Cassidy Mullins, an eighth grade musician, who is heading to the National Trumpet Competition in Washington, D.C. this month.
Mullins, who has been playing for two years, competed against hundreds of middle school students from across the nation, who sent in recorded auditions. She was one of only eight trumpet players chosen as a semi-finalist.
