Congratulations to our Boardman artists who won Gold and Silver Keys in this year's Regional Scholastic Art Competition. Their amazing work will be on display at Bliss Hall at YSU for the month of January.  Gold Key winners Alexis Chismar, Jenna Hughes and Gabbie Roller will advance to National Competition in New York City this spring.  

The Math department at Boardman High School is now equipped with brand new iPads, thanks to a generous donation from the Boardman Western Star Masonic Lodge #21.  

The Lodge recently donated $5,000 to Boardman Local Schools to be used for technology.  The donation helped provide a new device for every teacher in the High School Math Department.
