Month: February 2009

The Sitka School Board approved a request at Tuesday night's (1/3/09) meeting to sanction soccer as a sport at Sitka High. But the approval stopped short of providing funding and comes with a sunset clause, after two years the board will take another look at the program to decide whether or not to keep soccer, based on its success in the short term.

The Sitka High Drama, Debate and Forensics club finaled in all 12 of its events at the Dimond High School DDF Invitational tournament in Anchorage last weekend. (January 30-31) It was the first time the DDF students from Sitka have competed outside of Southeast, where they’ve dominated most of the season. Now they look forward to the State meet which will be held in Sitka February 26-28.
