Warren Area High School

Warren Area High School is proud to nominate Aydin Anthony for the Northwest PA CLASS Act Emerging Leader Award. Aydin is an outstanding student whose academic and extracurricular achievements make him a model representative of our school and community.

In the classroom, Aydin challenges himself with AP, Honors, and Dual Enrollment courses while maintaining academic excellence. He is a member of the National Honor Society and Tri-M Music Honor Society and has earned our school's Academic Letter multiple years. Beyond academics, Aydin is deeply involved in the arts, participating in both band and orchestra and contributing his talents to the Yearbook staff. Aydin is a reliable and trusted resource for staff and students alike. He regularly provides photography and video content for the school website, in-building presentations, weekly student news broadcasts, and SWPBIS training videos (An example of a video he created can be seen here:

His creativity and technical skill extend far beyond the classroom - Aydin serves as the lighting designer for major school events, including the All-County Musical, assemblies, graduation, concerts, and school recognition ceremonies. His professional experience is equally impressive. Aydin is employed by the historic Struthers Library Theatre as the in-house lighting designer. In this role, he produces show lighting for nationally recognized artists in the "Celebrity Series", Warren Players musicals and theatre productions, and the SLT Academy shows, which train young students in all aspects of theatre. His dedication is evident in the 250+ volunteer hours he has contributed to community productions and video editing projects. Aydin has also embraced a mentoring role, guiding younger students in lighting design and theatre production. He actively shares his knowledge, encourages their growth, and connects them with resources to pursue their own interests. This commitment to lifting others up is what makes him not only a leader but also an inspiration to his peers.

Looking ahead, Aydin plans to attend Point Park University to major in Theatrical Design, Management, and Production. His long-term goal is to become a commercial lighting designer for Broadway or touring theatre and music productions. With his talent, drive, and leadership, there is no doubt that he will continue to shine brightly in the years to come.

As we begin another season of athletics in the Warren County School District, we remind all spectators to act appropriately and respectfully at our events. Respect the Game. Abuse of coaches, officials, or players will NOT be tolerated. PIAA reminds us: “Actions meant to demean opponents, spectators, or officials are not in the highest ideals of education.” Let’s show respect and support our student athletes in the right way!

Registration has been extended for two more weeks!

Senior Parking Space Painting will take place on the following dates: 8/17, 8/23, 8/24, 8/30, 8/31. An approved design must be used and the parking permit form must be completed prior to painting. Packets have been mailed home at the end of last week or can be picked up at the main office between 8:00 - 4:00 Monday - Friday.

A few tips before starting painting:
- Have a design that minimizes the number of different colors of paint
- Bring a chair/canopy and plenty of water and helpers
- Exterior Latex paint only - prepare for a gallon to cover the previous space and for your background color.
- Check with friends/family/those who have previously painted to share paint for colors that are not the background color and painting materials.

We look forward to seeing all of the designs this school year!
