The Angola Girls wrestling team visited the Northern Lakes Nursing home.
The Angola High School boys basketball team got a taste of the university atmosphere as they took on rivals Fremont last Friday night at Trine Universityās MTI Center. The arena was filled with fans, the sounds of the high school pep band, cheerleaders hyping up the crowd, and, of course, Officer Lanoue leading the students in the āroller coaster.ā The Hornets took the win. What a thrilling way to start the Christmas break!
Have a great break!
MSDSC schools are experiencing Internet and phone issues this morning. Thank you for your patience.
Congratulations to Daniel Koch, this yearās Lilly Endowment Scholarship recipient, awarded by the Steuben County Community Foundation!

The AMS and AHS bands have been busy over the last few months preparing to fill our schools with music. They kicked off their winter season with a concert in the high school gym that showcased performances by the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade bands, the AMS Jazz Band, and the AHS high school band. The evening ended on a festive note with all bands coming together for a final song.
The music didnāt stop thereā the AHS band and AMS 8th grade band spent a day traveling to our elementary schools, sharing a fun and engaging concert with students and spreading the joy of music throughout the district.
