We are very happy about being able to bring back football and field a team for the fall of 2019. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm. and we have a number of kids with a lot of talent that have expressed interest in playing on the team. It is all about giving our kids as many opportunities as possible to grow.
Eight-man football will give our kids a chance to play in a competitive situation and it affords us the opportunity to develop our younger players in a safe environment. It is a great move for our school and we believe it will be a great move for other small schools that want to provide the great sport of football.
We are excited that the students of Schlarman Academy, which has a rich football tradition, will be able to experience Friday Night Lights, and Game Day Saturdays.

Cahill to Earn Associates Degree and High School Diploma at Graduation
Although small in number, our senior class this year has already accomplished some amazing feats. Look at Kristen Cahill, for example. This energetic senior – the youngest of thirteen children in the Cahill family – has had a plan since her freshman year; this year, in May, she will achieve that plan.
Kristen made the decision early in her high school career to complete her first two years of college while simultaneously finishing her high school requirements. This meant that she often took her regular high school load (including religion, science, math, English, and the many electives required to receive a diploma) while also completing dual enrollment classes which would prepare her for entry into classes after high for her chosen career field: nursing.
Kristen has completed such college-level courses as Anatomy and Physiology and Chemistry (including lab attendance), general education courses such as American History, Psychology, and Rhetoric I and II, and courses such as health, p.e., and a variety of courses that meet DACC requirements.
Kristen will receive her A. S. (Associates Degree in Science) on May 19 from DACC and will receive her high school diploma from Schlarman Academy on May 21. She has already been accepted to Lakeview College of Nursing and is ready for her post-high school life in the field of nursing. Knowing Kristen as well as we do, we think her goals to complete her nursing degree and finish with studies in the field of Nurse Practitioner are just the beginning of another plan which she will certainly complete.
Congratulations, Kristen!
