Groton Area HOSA students Ashlynn Warrington, Makenna Krause, and Neely Althoff created this “movie trailer” as part of their Public Health event for State HOSA—and it turned out awesome!
This project challenged students to combine creativity with real-world public health concepts, and these three did a great job bringing their message to life!
🏀 Congratulations to Groton Area Sophomore, Karson Zak, on being named a member of the All-Tournament Team at the State A Basketball Tournament in Rapid City this past weekend! Karson’s hard work, talent, and competitive spirit were evident all season and throughout the tournament. Tiger Nation is proud of you and is looking forward to all you have yet to accomplish in your Tiger career! 💛🖤
