Loyalsock senior named National Merit Commended Student

Williamsport, Pa. — Loyalsock Township High School senior Morgan Maggs has been named a Commended Student in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. Principals Stephen Hafele and Richard Cummings presented Maggs with a Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program. About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2027 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2027 competition by taking the 2025 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). “Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” a spokesperson for NMSC said. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”

Pa. Senate holds hearing on three-year bachelor’s degrees

Harrisburg, Pa. — The Senate Education Committee, chaired by Sen. Lynda Schlegel Culver, R-27, held a public hearing on reduced-credit bachelor’s degrees to explore whether Pennsylvania could offer students a more flexible and potentially more affordable path to graduation and the workforce, according to Culver’s office. These three-year bachelor’s degree programs could require at least 90 credits instead of the traditional 120, allowing students to begin earning and learning in their field sooner, the release says. Students could also use the additional room in their schedules to obtain another credential or participate in experiential learning while remaining on a four-year schedule. “This discussion is about exploring options that could give students more flexibility while preserving the quality and value of a college education,” Culver said. “We need to understand how these programs would serve students, meet employers’ needs and affect opportunities to transfer or pursue graduate education.” The committee gathered perspectives on accreditation, employer needs, affordability, transparency, degree naming and students’ ability to transfer or pursue graduate education, according to the release. Testifiers included: Dr. Kathy W. Humphrey, president, Carlow University.Dr. Heather F. Perfetti, president, Middle States Commission on Higher Education.Dr. Lance Kennedy-Phillips, vice provost for planning, assessment and institutional

Williamsport, Pa. — Loyalsock Township High School celebrated its 40th Homecoming on Oct. 16 during its football game against Shikellamy, honoring four decades of school tradition and marking a new chapter in Lancer history. During the game’s halftime ceremony, senior Ryan Lingg was crowned the school’s first Homecoming King. Addison Barowy was crowned Homecoming Queen, and Mia Girio was named Homecoming Princess. This year’s Homecoming Court featured 16 seniors. Boys were included among the court members and on the ballot for Homecoming King for the first time. According to the 1986-87 “Apalaco,” the school yearbook, Loyalsock’s inaugural Homecoming Court consisted of seven senior girls selected by their peers, along with their escorts. The queen was selected by a vote of the student body and crowned during the football game against Montoursville. Carolyn Fry received the honor, with Angie Fortier named first runner-up. Continuing the practice of welcoming back the previous year’s queen, LTHS invited 2025 Homecoming Queen Kendall Eichensehr to assist with the crowning ceremony.
