Mr. Carson High

Carson High School Culinary Arts has been named to the 2014-15 Elite 50 by the National Center for Hospitality Studies by the Sullivan University. The award recognizes an exclusive group of high schools that excel in the areas of culinary arts, baking and pastry arts.

It is that time of year again for winter sports in the NIAA Northern Region. The beginning of this year's basketball season took place Thursday evening in the Carson High School Gymnasium as the Cougars of Spanish Springs took on the Senators of Carson in a heated varsity boys basketball show down.

The CHS Marching Band competed last weekend in the Nevada Day Battle of the Bands held at Spanish Springs High School. The band finished first in their division beating out rivals Douglas High School.

They received the caption for "Outstanding Music." This award marks the first time in nine years that the marching band took home a first place trophy in a field show competition. Way to Go Big Blue Thunder!

CARSON CITY — The Nevada Army National Guard is set to team up with the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association and become one of the association's partners for the 2014-2015 academic year, Nevada Guard and
NIAA officials said Thursday. The NIAA is the non-profit organization of secondary schools in Nevada that acts as the governing body of high school athletics and activities.

The Carson High School Wrestling team has been one of the most successful sports in the long and prestigious history of Carson High School. Over the last six years they have won 30 consecutive league dual matches and six straight Sierra League titles. In 2012 the Senator wrestlers were crowned Northern Nevada’s NIAA Regional Champions and they are gunning for that distinction again this year.

The NIAA has a problem. They forget that they are running high school sports and not professional organizations. This is to tell them that giving exclusive broadcasting rights of all mediums to Gustin Sports Productions is beyond absurd. This is Nevada, where high school sports are not overwhelmingly huge. This is all about fun here not about money like some seem to think.
