The 10th annual Cardboard Boat Regatta was held in the Ohio River in Wetzel County on Monday, Oct. 1. This year was the first time St. Marys entered a boat. Seniors Brody Rice, Brady Rinard, Preston Lawhon and Tyson Kimball competed in the race. St. Marys' Entry came out on top by winning each of their heats including the final. The race organizers also congratulated the boys on their design and craftsmanship as well as their performance. St. Marys won the 2024 championship thereby enabling them to compete in the national Cardboard Regatta to be held in Georgetown, SC on Oct. 20.

SMHS is excited to announce that a team of students enrolled in Mr. Joe Semple's AP Art class recently took on the challenge of entering the Matt Barker Cardboard Regatta race in Paden City, WV. These students worked diligently to develop a plan and design for their boat to be successfully raced on the Ohio River! Our team from SMHS not only engineered a boat that would withstand the contest, their design WON the race against approximately 50 other entries! We are so proud of Brady Rinard, Brody Rice, Preston Lawhon and Tyson Kimball for their perseverance and dedication to this STEAM project! In winning the event, the team qualified to take their craft to the highest level and race at the National Cardboard Regatta contest in Georgetown, South Carolina on Oct. 20th. In order to attend this event, we are requesting donations to off-set the cost of their travel, meals and lodging. If you would like to help sponsor our team, please make checks payable to SMHS (earmarked for the AP Art program). Thank you so much for helping support our students with this amazing opportunity!
