From the Desk of Patrick McKernan
Dear USD 429 Parents, Students, and Patrons:
Over the course of the past ten years, Troy high school and middle school students have participated in the Twin Valley League for all Kansas State High School Activities Association sponsored events. We have enjoyed the camaraderie of the TVL league and appreciated them accepting us when we had no other option. Over the course of the last couple of years, we have looked and inquired about admittance into the Northeast Kansas League. I was informed yesterday afternoon that the Northeast Kansas League conducted a preliminary vote, and have approved us for league admission beginning the 2024-2025 school year. Their league constitution requires two votes, with the next vote taking place October 3, 2023. Nothing is official until after that second vote. We believe this change is a better fit for our students who participate in activities based on mileage and travel time to and from these events. I would reiterate, nothing is official until after the vote on October 3. We will send out an update on our league status after the October 3, 2023 NEKL meeting.
Sincerely,
Patrick E. McKernan
Superintendent of Schools
