Community celebrates first night games under new lights
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the successful implementation of night games for fall sports, highlighting the positive impact on community engagement and school spirit. All fall sports teams utilizing the turf have had the opportunity to play at least one game under the lights, marking a significant milestone for the district.

However, questions arose regarding the future of night games, particularly for football. It was confirmed that there are no additional plans for high school football games under the lights this fall, with only one more home game scheduled at Hertz Stadium before playoffs, which are determined on a week-by-week basis.

The meeting also touched on the financial aspects of the new lighting and stands, with a total investment of $1,050,000 from both city and school funding. Officials emphasized the importance of fostering a sense of belonging within the school community, noting that the inaugural night games have already contributed positively to this goal.

As the district continues to navigate the logistics of night events, officials expressed optimism about future improvements and the overall benefits these changes bring to students and the wider community.
