Today, it is not uncommon to encounter a teen mother at North Central High School. Jon Whitmer, a leader of the Christian organization Young Life, became accustomed to this occurrence through his regular visits to North Central. Three years ago, Whitmer, along with other Young Life leaders established a new ministry of Young Life, called Young Lives. Young Life has always been open to all people, however, Whitmer realized that a faction of the population had trouble being involved. “Teen moms have challenging schedules, so Young Life brought Young Lives to North Central,” Whitmer said. Young Lives was implemented to allow teen moms to stay involved with Young Life. The program Future Promises, also geared towards helping and supporting teen mothers in high school, already existed at NC. Whitmer approached Annette Jackson, the program coordinator, and helped to kick-start Young Lives at North Central. “Young...

On Friday, April 13, the All for Children club hosted its annual event Net Night.

Last season, the Indiana Pacers reached the playoffs for the first time in five years. The 2011-2012 season has began with a bang, as the Pacers have started the season with a record of 17-10, and a home record of 7-3. The Pacers are proving that they are a team on the rise, and have brought high team expectations to the city of Indianapolis. “The Pacers are good this year,” junior Roberto Vega said. “They are winning a lot and they are playing really well. We have a lot of talent on our team, and Roy Hibbert is an all-star this year. We are one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, and we are definitely a playoff team. I think that the Pacers will stay a playoff team for a long time.” Last year’s playoff appearance was a change for the Pacers, who...
