Student Life
County excels in many things but as for County’s achievements I will only be recognizing the 2015-2016 and 2016- 2017 school years. Starting in 2015, many athletics started to take off, majorly football, wrestling, and swimming. In 2015 wrestling won the championship and swimming also did. In 2016 the football teams effort brightly shined as they won our rival game pigskin for the first time in about 10 years. Later on during the season the golf boys and girls did great and Sam Colleti and Drew Egan showing their true talent.
