An auditorium filled with high school students could never have been more quiet, still, and solemn as Thornapple Kellogg High School's Thursday afternoon. Everyone knew the horrific three-car crash outside Thornapple Kellogg High School was staged and that Hanna McCrath wasn't really killed or Jacob Gipe really sent to prison for drunk driving.

Michigan Insurance & Financial Services, through their MIAFS Gives Back educational grant initiative, presented  TKHS Music Director Ray Rickert with a check for $500. Rickert said funds will be used to  purchase music stands and other supplies.

The movie “Rodeo Girl” had plenty of West Michigan connections, including performances by two Thornapple Kellogg High School students, when it debuted Saturday night. Kaleigh Aldridge and Derek Brandon, TKHS juniors, walked the red carpet before the premiere showing of the Joel Reisig film, then signed autographs and posed for photos with fans after the showing.
