Local representative visits high school to give first-hand knowledge of legislative process
HUBBARD, Ohio (WKBN) – Ohio State Representative Lauren McNally paid a visit Friday to Hubbard High School. She met with juniors in the American History class, giving them first-hand knowledge of the legislative process. 'It's one thing to learn about it from books, but it's another thing to really have an opportunity to talk to somebody who's in the weeds doing the work. So I hope I can offer them a different kind of perspective,' she said. McNally says her schedule can be chaotic — traveling to Columbus each week, working 12-hour days with committee sessions, hearings, meetings with lobbyists and ceremonies. When she comes home, the work doesn't stop. 'I represent nearly 145,000 people and they all have different needs, and they are all working towards different goals for themselves, their organizations, their businesses, their lives. So when they are contacting me, it's a never-ending job,' McNally said. She also talked to the students about the importance of public service, even at their age.

Senior students give back to community
HUBBARD, Ohio (WKBN) — One Trumbull County district's senior class is kicking off its last month of high school by giving back to their community. Ninety-two members of Hubbard High School's Class of 2025 are learning a lesson on giving back. 'We're just out in the community, you know, having some fun, cleaning some stuff up, doing some service,' said senior Alex Hackwelder. Willingly trading a morning in the classroom for manual labor, they're volunteering to do work on different projects at nine different locations across the city and township. 'We're helping the fire department and washing all their trucks and ambulances,' said Malia Hivner. 'There's some blisters, a little bit of dirt, these kids got wet at the fire station, but so it's a fun day but they're also doing some work,' said senior class advisor Andrea Stamp. It's the fourth year for the district's annual Senior Day of Service. 'The kids enjoy giving back then they talk about it, it's a memory for them,' Stamp said. 'It's good for both the community and the school.' The seniors say It's a fun-filled way to kick off the last month before graduation. 'It's just a great day to get our senior class together and come out and be with our teachers and help out around our community and kinda like we're doing many different last hurrah's with our class,' Hivner said. 'We get that time in class together, but now we get some time outside of class to, you know, not only spend some time together but also do it in a good way that gives back to you know the people of Hubbard that supported us through you know our four years of high school,' Hackwelder said.

Festival of Bands showcases Valley high schoolers' talents
HUBBARD, Ohio (WKBN) – More than a dozen high school bands are showcasing their talents at Hubbard High School this week. It's all part of the 11th Festival of Bands. This year, 13 school bands from Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties are participating in the event, which spans two days. It allows the bands to perform in front of their peers and get feedback from guest clinicians, including Dr. Galen Karriker, the director of bands at the University of Akron. Karriker hopes experiences like this event help light the musical spark in students. 'I think the most important thing that I like to tell students in high school is you don't have to be a music major to keep making music. So even if you choose to not go in that path as far as your career, you can still keep making music for a lifetime,' he said. The Festival of Bands continues Friday morning.
