Our Comet alumni, Luke Nehrig, was nominated by his college professor to present one of his SAP class projects in front of a panel of Dow representatives.

He was then honored on April 22, 2022 at a luncheon held at the Buck’s Run Golf Club. Luke is set to Graduate from CMU on May 7th with a business degree in information systems. Go Luke! Congratulations!

There is just no way the district would run without these 5 ladies- they ARE the people who run the district. They provide support to families, constantly help each of us and are the people answering a million student questions and needs. Not only that, but it's the thousands of things behind the scenes no one sees- paperwork, documentation, conversations with other districts and agencies, the scheduling and organizing of every possibly event and how they take initiative and think ahead to what is upcoming to ensure we are prepared.
Thank ladies for your amazing kindness and work ethic!
