• Hancock High School presented Goodwill Cup (thehancocknews.com) — Hancock Middle-Senior High School has been honored with Horizon Goodwill’s Goodwill Cup and a $1,000 award for its strong participation in the Spring into Education Donation Drive. Students and staff helped collect gently-used items in school donation bins, with support from the Education Foundation of WCPS and sponsorship from CNB Bank. 
• Pennsylvania Ave. pump project costs rise, funding commitments questioned (thehancocknews.com) — Hancock officials are grappling with rising costs to replace the failing Pennsylvania Avenue pump station, but engineers say added expenses should be covered by grants, not local taxpayers. Council members pushed for written assurances from USDA and other funders to avoid sticking the town with roughly $120,000 in extra costs, while also racing state deadlines that could jeopardize existing grant commitments.
• Panther track team closes season at regionals with more personal records (thehancocknews.com) — Hancock Panthers track athletes wrapped up their season at the Maryland 1A West Regional meet in Smithsburg with multiple personal bests and strong finishes in events like discus, triple jump, and relays. Coach Greg Cartrette praised the team’s steady improvement, highlighted seniors’ leadership, and thanked assistant coach Brittany Waugh for helping build momentum for Hancock track and field’s future.
