EBENSBURG Central Cambria students will soon have the chance to graduate from high school with not only a diploma, but an associate’s degree as well.
Through a partnership with Mount Aloysius College and Penn Highlands Community College, students at the Central Cambria High School will be able to complete the Associate in High School program, which provides students the opportunity to obtain up to 60 college credits prior to high school graduation.
“We have done a lot of work to expand our students’ opportunities to earn college credits,” Central Cambria High School Principal Chris Santini said. “We’ve invested a lot into our curriculum and already have an extensive dual-enrollment program, but this Associate in High School program takes it to the next level.”

Appalachian Trail thru-hiker raises money for polio eradication
HOT SPRINGS - A Pennsylvania man is hiking the Appalachian Trail to raise money to eradicate polio.
Owen P. Standley, 34, is thru-hiking the trail on behalf of Rotary International. His goal is to raise $100,000, and he had raised more than $39,600 when he stopped in Hot Springs on March 25 while passing through.
The trail begins in Springer Mountain, Georgia, and ends in Maine, with Pennsylvania serving as the halfway point, putting Standley on a pace to meet his fundraising goal.
Standley, originally from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, began his trip March 9 and said he planned to hike the 2,190-mile trail in 100 days. He said Rotary Club of Madison County members had been following his progress since he began his trip.

Today, Good Friday, people around the world engage in prayerful remembrance of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross on Mount Calvary. For Christians, it is the most solemn day of the year. Unfortunately, like during most of last year, there is much additional suffering and death upon which Christians and non-Christians alike are pondering and agonizing, a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The past year has been a terrible “journey” of a scope hardly anyone ever imagined could happen in this time of medical breakthroughs often referred to as miracles. But yet, this planet has been victimized, and there exists no sign that COVID-19-related suffering and death will end anytime soon.
