Our very own Raiden Slathar, Payton Schneider, and Luke Allison were recently recognized by the NYA Fire Department for the calm, responsible, and caring way they responded to an emergency situation. Their maturity and compassion during a stressful moment truly embody Raider Pride. As their well-deserved award states, “Your initiative reflects the highest spirit of civic duty. We honor your courage, your character, and your commitment to the safety of our community.”

We are incredibly proud of you all!

Each school year, Triple ‘A’ Award recipients are selected through a multi-level process involving member schools of the League, the League’s administrative regions, and a special committee of educators, business leaders, and members from the fine arts and athletic communities. Each school has two winners, one girl and one boy.

The Central Public Schools 2026 male Triple A winner is Kyson Evenski who has made an incredible impact on our school community through his participation, leadership, and dedication.

"Kyson has been a leader in all areas of his life since he was in my class in 7th grade," said Head Boys Basketball Coach Keegan Oak. "There is a sense of trust and reliability that I have found in Kyson as an athlete, student and as a role model to younger student athletes."

Congratulations Kyson for this well deserved honor!
