Carson City will be front and center Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, when it hosts the 2024 NIAA State Track & Field Championships at the Jim Frank Track Complex at Carson High School. The two-day event will draw more than 1,000 athletes (from four different classifications) and countless fans and spectators from across the state to the Carson City community.

Carson High School World History, Global Issues Teacher Nicole Fagundes has been selected as a delegate to participate in a geography education conference and field study in South Korea during June 2024. The geography activities on the Korean Peninsula will enable Mrs. Fagundes to gain direct experience with the Korean people and their culture.

This time of year is always an ambivalent time for seniors. On the one hand, they’re excited about going to prom and walking across the stage in front of friends and family at graduation. On the other hand, it’s a time to say farewell to childhood and move forward on their own. Senior Valeria Vega Realivazquez, this week’s Senior in the Spotlight, is well aware of this phenomenon.

A big challenge for today’s teenage students is balancing going to school and doing well, maintaining a decent job and managing the many social demands of friends and family. Pioneer Academy’s Senior Spotlight and the student of the month for April, Dolce Perez, has spent the last few years perfecting this balancing act to find her ultimate happiness in life.

To honor Rafe Harvey, the family is inviting friends, students, teachers and community members to attend a Celebration of Life Saturday, April 13 at 1 p.m. at Life Church Carson City, 1600 Snyder Ave., in Carson City.
