On his first day as the new president of Tabor College, during an informal get-together with faculty and staff, Jules Glanzer pulled from his pocket a choir director’s pitch pipe and blew a note loudly enough for everyone to hear.

The official observance was last month, but a pair of environmentally conscious Tabor College students believe every day should be Earth Day—especially for people who call themselves Christians.

Accommodating other proposed facility changes and saving taxpayer money are the key reasons the USD 410 Board of Education is looking to an old building as the new location for its central office and transportation and maintenance services, officials say.
Gordon Mohn announced last week that he will be stepping down as superintendent of Unified School District 410 at the conclusion of the contract year, June 30.
Mohn, 57, will be filing for retirement through the state’s KPERS program, but has accepted a full-time job for the coming school year as director of the special-education program for USD 418-McPherson.

Schools propose shared facility for football and track.
The most unconventional portion of the USD 410 bond proposal involves a partnership with Tabor College to build a football and track facility on the college campus.
The partnership involves not only a high school and college athletic program, also a public and private institution.
“To us, it just doesn’t make sense to have two facilities in Hillsboro,” Superintendent Gordon Mohn said about the partnership.
