The Banner County Education Association would like to thank the members of the Board of Education for their continued service to our school and community:  Kevin Hostetler, Glenn Muhr, Brad Cross, Mark Knaub, Jennifer Jackson, and Barb Cross.  Please express your gratitude to them when you have the opportunity.

After talking with the advisor of the FFA team, Bill Gifford, I was told the livestock management team came in 1^st place, and they qualify for State. There were 14 total schools involved as well. The members of FFA at Banner County were: Brady Lind, Jordan Knaub, Haleigh White, Regan Streeks, Collin Havengar, and Hayley Clark. The Welders were Jordan Farro and Charile Hoover. Jordan Farro got 6^th place in MIG and Charlie Hoover got 4^th in arch welding.
