On Monday evening at our School Board meeting, we proudly recognized George Nestlerode with a plaque that will be displayed in the showcase near the High School Gym.
George has been a dedicated member of the Cross Country program since his freshman year, when he earned an impressive personal record (P.R.) of 19:16. Since then, he has demonstrated tremendous growth as both an athlete and a leader. He consistently pushed himself to improve—often logging nearly 300 miles each summer to prepare for the fall season—and even expanded his training by competing independently in Track & Field in the 1600m and 3200m events last spring.
A true staple in the local running community, George is well-known for his love of 5Ks and can often be seen running along—and sometimes across—the roads throughout our district. Over the years, he has built strong connections with opponents and coaches across the region, always offering encouragement, sportsmanship, and an authentic passion for the sport. His remarkable memory for teams, courses, and competitors makes him the kind of runner who cheers for everyone.
The past two seasons have brought exceptional success. George earned back-to-back ICC Championships ('24 and '25), finished as District VI runner-up in both years, and qualified for the PIAA State Championship in Hershey, placing 80th in 2024 and an outstanding 39th in 2025. He closes his high school cross country career with a phenomenal P.R. of 16:53, set at ICCs in Meyersdale.
George plans to continue running Track & Field this spring and intends to pursue Cross Country and Track & Field at the collegiate level next year. We are incredibly proud of his dedication, sportsmanship, and the example he sets for younger athletes.
Congratulations, George!

This year the High School Art Club participated in PennDOT’s “Paint the Plow” program where schools across the state paint a PennDOT plow blade with an original design that fits the year’s theme to promote safe driving in the winter. This year’s theme was “Don’t race, allow some space.” Art Club students Deakon Evans and Makayla Sones put in many hours of work to complete our plow. The plow blade will be installed on a plow that has a route within the Moshannon Valley school district so anyone could have the opportunity to see it in use.
