If you’ve walked by the high school auditorium over the past few months, you’ve likely heard the sound of singing voices and dancing feet. A cast of 32 students from both the high school and middle school, along with 11 behind-the-scenes crew members, have been working hard to bring the classic story Annie to life.

All of their hard work comes together starting tonight with the first of three performances. We are incredibly proud of these talented students, led by drama teacher Cady Davidson and choir director Ryan VanAntwerp. Come out and show your support for their dedication and creativity!

The skyline looks a little different today—our Angola Hornet is now proudly watching over the town from the water tower.
A huge thank you to retired Water Superintendent Tom Selman, who envisioned this project, as well as to the City of Angola for its continued support of our schools. We also extend our appreciation to Angola Engineering, MS4, and the many other departments that helped bring this vision to life.

Excitement filled the room as students entered, happily chatting about the books they had just read and the ones they were eager to pick up next. Questions like, “Where are the pigeon books?” and “Can you help me find a book about dinosaurs?” rang out as students scattered through the shelves, placeholders in hand, searching for their next great read.

It’s clear just how special this space is. Once their books were selected, students lined up to check them out, excitedly sharing details about their new stories with the librarian. Afterward, they settled in for a few quiet moments of reading—some sharing with friends, others getting lost in their books.

It is clear just how special this space is. So during School Library Appreciation Month, we celebrate our school libraries and our caring and knowledgeable librarians who lead them.

Bus Incident Update:
MSD of Steuben County’s foremost obligation is the safety of our students while at school, at activities, and while transporting them. We expect and demand that all of our employees perform diligently and appropriately to fulfill that obligation. When staff does not, corrective measures must and will be taken.

As previously shared, on April 6, 2026, an MSD of Steuben County school bus was involved in an accident on South County Road 300 East. Both the bus driver, Jennie Hammond, and the student were transported to Cameron Hospital immediately following the accident. Both individuals were treated at the hospital for pain and released the same day.
As part of the corporation’s internal review conducted shortly after the accident, bus safety video shows Ms. Hammond using a cell phone while driving. The bus driver’s use of her cell phone while driving violated school corporation rules. The school corporation is
cooperating fully with local law enforcement and its investigation. Earlier today, the bus driver’s employment with MSD of Steuben County was terminated.
The corporation is committed to maintaining the safety and well-being of all of our students and will take all appropriate steps necessary to properly respond to this incident.
