  • St. James tradition to continue in new school building

    By Sister Michael Marie Friedman

    St. James Catholic Regional School is a tradition unlike any other. St. James Catholic School was started in 1870 as St. Mary’s Academy. The school continues the tradition today of Catholic education in Hardin and surrounding counties as a regional school.

    The school today stands upon the shoulders of many generations that sacrificed to make our present school setting possible. We have outgrown our present setting and will be moving. We are looking forward to this move.

  • Summer is a break from class, not learning

    The school year is over and in less than two months, we’ll already have started another year. Can you believe it? The old adage “time flies” is surely right.

    The summer break is a wonderful time to make memories and share some valued family time. I hope all our families can spend some time doing the things they enjoy most.

  • Exchange student experiences a year of growth

    By Roksolana Turkovska

    People make choices every day, and a decision I made completely changed my life. With God’s will, I became a foreign exchange student from Ukraine with the program FLEX. 

    FLEX gives students a chance to live with a host family and attend a U.S. high school for a year. The program is very competitive. Nearly 7,000 students submitted applications and only 200 from Ukraine became finalists. Fortunately, I was one of them.

  • College advice and tips: Choosing a college and major

    Before even thinking about facing the challenges of college, the graduating high school student has a couple other considerations to face, namely which college to attend and what to major in.

    Jessica Shartzer, an Eastern Kentucky University student and 2010 North Hardin High School graduate, said high school students should look at what courses any prospective college offers.

    “The main reason why I chose Eastern is because it's only one of three schools in the state of Kentucky that offers speech/language pathology as a major,” Shartzer said.

  • Harry Potter movie is too hyped

    By Kerry Skiff

    The hype around "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" is too excessive. The way the film industry has broadcasted the movie discourages excitement among those loyal fans who were going to see it anyway, and it doesn’t attract any new audiences.

    Deathly Hallows Part 2 will attract the same audience that watched all seven movies. Most are great fans of the books, and they saw the films to experience the enchantment of the novels. Others only watched the films and were hooked on the charms of the wizard world.

  • Harry Potter is not too hyped

    By April Winebarger

    Harry Potter. The British boy-wizard’s story is so well known that even American Muggles recognize his name. His adventures are recorded in seven internationally best-selling novels, which have been adapted into eight movies. The last of these is coming out July 15, and everyone is talking about it.

    Some say this last movie has far too much publicity, but many young fans, including myself, are hailing this as the end of their childhood.
