Carol won the state competition on March 18, 2011 by recit-ing the poems “Agoraphobia” by Linda Pastan, “Strange Meeting” by Wilfred Owen, and “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be” by John Keats. At the regional competi-tion she recited “Strange Meeting” by Wilfred Owen as well as “Not Weaving But Drowning” by Stevie Smith. Before any of that, Carol participated in the school-wide compe-tition where she recited “Not Weaving But Drowning” by Stevie Smith. Carol says that she “writes poetry only when I‟m stressed, rather than for „funsies‟”. Carol is off to the national competition which will happen in DC on April 27th.

The class of 2012 rules the school as the first graduating class of Tuscarora High School. “Juniors represent!” was a popular exclamation from the spirit-filled 11th graders.

Sophomores show their spirit by wearing all black for the pep rally, but school comes first for these dedicated 10th graders. “Class of 2013 will make you scream!” Wallace Teska said.

The class of 2014 show their spirit in white. As the most numerous class at Tuscarora this year, they know they have go all out to pep up the school.

Eli Reid and Matt Busbee look quite dapper as they let loose their inner nerd on Nerd Day.

Even the teachers were getting into the spirit! Dr. Kagan and Ms. Smingler show their pride for Tuscarora on Fake an Injury Day.

Margaret Von Wodke, Jenny Klug, and Lori Kostka go retro for 80s Day.

Katarina Rebello and Molly Fuller are hard to tell apart on Twin Day. “We’re twins at heart,” Molly explained.
