Springfield's first Presidential Scholar in years is from Thurston High

Springfield's first U.S. Presidential Scholars Program awardee in recent memory found out the good news on Oct. 27 through a text from his mom. Theo Shields , who recently graduated from Thurston High School , was walking between classes at Boston University when he checked his phone. "Theo, you did it," the text from his mom said. What he did was earn one of the most prestigious designations for high school grads in the country. "Now that I have this award I would like to, if possible, transfer to a different university that might suit my academic needs a bit better," Shields said. All finalists receive an engraved U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion. Traditionally, the scholars journey to Washington, D.C., for an award ceremony where they receive their medallions, but Shields said that doesn't appear to be happening this year. The U.S. Presidential Scholars' press release said all the scholars will still receive the medallion. From homeschool to college to high school Shields has always had a stark passion for learning. Born in England, he read the first Harry Potter book around age 5 after moving to the Springfield as a toddler. Shields' mom worked for Lane Community College teaching English

The Last Nov. 3 General Election Letters!

This letter was a struggle. In part because Jack Tibbetts is such a friendly guy and is known by everybody around the Grove. Hard to know if it’s just becoming a rancher and land owner that made him do a 180. He talks about being older and wiser, but he’s still just a kid.
