On Wednesday, December 3, families, friends, and educators gathered to celebrated six Warren G. Harding students who received the prestigious 2025 Twenty Under 20 award. This award is sponsored by The Tribune Chronicle, AVI FoodSystems and Akron Children’s. The Twenty Under 20 award honors students who have shown exemplary leadership through their volunteer efforts, work in the classroom, and participation in their many extracurricular activities.

During the event that took place at DiVieste’s Banquet Center, the audience was introduced to each student and given highlights as to why they were chosen for this award. Micaiah Capers was chosen as one of the 5 finalists and will get to designate $250 to a charity of her choice. A video created by the student showcased each of the 5 finalists.

This October, the students in Principles of Foods class participated in a kindness campaign they called Make a Difference Month.  Students researched different non-profit organizations in Warren to see which organizations they wanted to donate to.  Each week, students baked items and then donated a portion to local non-profit organizations.  Students called to set up the drop off and then went with Mrs. Scarmack to deliver the baked goods to the organizations.  Over three three weeks of this campaign, 15 pans of caramel apple crisp was delivered to Warren Family Mission, 158 cookies were delivered to SomePlace Safe and 122 cupcakes were delivered to Inspiring Minds.  All three organizations were extremely grateful for the donations.  Way to make a difference in your community cooking students! 

 The Warren G. Harding entry for the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Paint a Plow contest is a real “scream!” Teacher Kristen Newbrough and her Senior Studio Students came up with the design and executed the artwork.
