SCHS student athlete, Mariano Talemantez is one of the 8 finalists for the NFL Hispanic Heritage Scholarship. Dan Miller nominated him to the Packers. The Packers selected him as their winner (that had its own scholarship), he’ll be in New Orleans most of next week for festivities.

John/Helen Miller Update: from Jenny (Miller) Hovan
For those unaware my parents have both been struggling more than usual (in more ways than one) these past few months.
My mom is now in her 4th month in memory care at St. Monica's and my dad has been struggling at home with a compression fracture (as well as missing her terribly).
The past couple of weeks my mom has been in/out of the hospital with blood clots and a high fever. My dad had 3 procedures to alleviate his pain and is now recovering at St. Monica's and receiving PT.
Prayers from family and friends are always welcome and appreciated,
