South Fork schools are enjoying considerable success when it comes to sports.  The high school’s eight-man football team reached the state semifinals.  The junior high school’s track-and-field team will make its debut shortly.  In addition, there is a major coaching change on the horizon for the high school girls basketball team.  This all comes amid standardized testing and end-of-year field trips throughout the school district. 

Superintendent Chris Clark has his eyes on the sporting happenings at South Fork.  He says the junior high track-and-field team consists only of South Fork students this season, but they may co-op with Edinburg in the future.

Josh Mulvaney has left his position as head coach of the high school’s girls basketball team.  Clark spoke positively about his impact on his players while serving as coach. 

Off the field and court, South Fork students recently completed the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR), the state standardized testing for students in third through eighth grade.  When reviewing the results, the district is especially focused on the growth that students show from one year to the next. 

The schools are planning field trips at the end of the academic year to celebrate students’ accomplishments.  Initial potential destinations include Scovill Zoo, international cuisine, and even other states.
