Last week the Hinton Central Valley Ag hosted an Ag Day event for the local agriculture programs. Students in the Introduction to Agriculture classes at Hinton were in attendance at the event and were able to learn about product distribution, commodity prices, livestock feeds, fuel, and the role drones play in crop management. The Intro to Ag students have been studying agriculture commodities and careers; therefore these stations tied in nicely with their studies. Thank you so much to the Hinton CVA for sponsoring this event and piecing together the connection between what students are learning in the classroom to the real world.

Proud moment for Hinton Blackhawks athletics.
Hinton is one of 191 IHSAA member schools (50% of the association) that went the entire 2025-26 school year with zero ejections of student-athletes or coaches.
The attached letter from IHSAA Executive Director Tom Keating commends schools for that record and reminds everyone that “Conduct Counts” — at every venue and in the stands.
Great job, coaches, athletes, and community. Let’s carry that same standard into 2026-27.
