Grand Island Senior High Auditorium was filled Saturday with the sound of nearly 160 fourth through sixth graders as Sing Around Nebraska made a stop in Grand Island.
​
Sing Around Nebraska are daylong choir workshops for students held in several locations across the state. The Grand Island site hosted students from Grand Island Public Schools, Northwest Public Schools, Holdrege, Fairfield, Seward, Giltner and Wood River.

York College’s winter commencement held in the Bartholomew Performing Arts Center on December 16 was one for the record books as fifty-seven graduates received their master’s degrees, the largest graduate study class in the college’s history. While more than half of the graduates were from the Midwest, with Nebraska representing the lion’s share, they hailed from as far away as Gulf Shores, Ala., and Brentwood, Calif. For many, this was their first time to be on the YC campus, having taken all of their coursework online. Others were not able to be at the ceremony due to distance but still received their cherished diploma in the mail.

York College announced the students named to the Dean's List for the Fall 2021 term. 102 students were recognized with this distinction. 

To be named to the Dean’s List, students must carry 12 or more graded hours and achieve a semester grade point average of at least 3.75 with no incomplete grades and no grade below “C” for the semester.

The Dr. Mark Moore Entrepreneurial Spirit Award is presented annually by the York College PBL Chapter and the York Chamber of Commerce at the York Chamber of Commerce Banquet. 

This year’s award was presented to Amanda Peterson of Peterson’s Petal Company in York.
