Sarah Dorsey spotlights Pike athletes, donations and Black Expo outreach
Summary
At the June 27 MSD Pike Township School Board meeting, Sarah Dorsey highlighted Pike High School athlete recognitions, shared season statistics for Rory Weaver, announced community donations to school programs, and invited attendees to the district booth at the Indiana Black Expo.
Sarah Dorsey used the board's "Spotlight on Pike" segment to highlight recent student achievements and community support. She said Pike High School's Rory Weaver was named to an IHSAA all‑sophomore baseball team, and cited his season statistics: a .400 batting average, 25 runs, 16 RBIs, five doubles, 15 stolen bases, eight walks and seven strikeouts in 25 games. "So he had a fantastic season," Dorsey said.
Dorsey also recognized Barrett Hanscomb and Jibquelle Young for receiving honorable mention on the 2024 All‑USA Central Indiana Super Team in baseball. She noted that Pike graduate Lena Irby Jackson is competing in Olympic track and field trials that evening; the district announcement listed NBC and Peacock as the broadcast outlets at approximately 8:50 p.m.
Reading the donations listed on the agenda, Dorsey acknowledged a $2,556.54 Eli Lilly matching gift earmarked for robotics, a $3,000 donation to support Pike High School wrestling practices and clinics, and a $250 donation to support a trauma‑sensitive classroom at Pike High School. A separate dessert donation referenced in the transcript had an unclear amount and is not reported here.
Dorsey invited community members to stop by the MSD Pike Township booth at the Indiana Black Expo to learn about the district's educational and employment opportunities and to pick up Pike merchandise. The board did not take formal action on the recognitions during the meeting; they were presented as part of the report to the board.
