Students never forget their favorite teachers and those who had an impact on their lives. That effect will be exhibited tonight, when a scholarship from the Central High School Class of 1943 will be awarded to a student by a former Central High School teacher who is turning 100 years old next month.

Evelyn Hatfield, the teacher the Class of ’43 honored, will present Central senior Scott Lane with a scholarship named in her honor at Central High School’s Class Night. Over the years, Central seniors have received thousands of dollars through this award. This year, this funding joins the $20,026,688 that has been presented in scholarship monies to EVSC high school seniors this year. 

Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett today announced the results of the first administration of Indiana’s third grade reading assessment, called the Indiana Reading Evaluation and Determination for grade 3 (IREAD-3). Statewide, 84 percent of students assessed during the March 19-21 testing window demonstrated foundational third grade reading skills.

“Our goal is to make sure all students in Indiana gain the reading skills they need to be successful in school and life,” Bennett said. “We know students who do not have these skills by the end of grade 3 rarely catch up to their peers. The IREAD-3 assessment helps educators and parents ensure all children receive the support they need before moving forward with more challenging reading instruction.”
