1. Wilkinson's 4 touchdown day fuels Carroll's 52-10 win over Montana Western (swxlocalsports.com) — Carroll College football kept rolling in Helena with a dominant 52-10 win over Montana Western at snowy Nelson Stadium, pushing the Saints to 5-1. Tight end Ty Wilkinson caught four touchdown passes from quarterback Kaden Huot, while a powerful ground game and stingy defense kept Western's usually potent offense in check for local fans.
2. Gov. Gianforte visits Boeing India to promote Montana aerospace ties (bigskytimes.com) — Boeing's long-standing fabrication facility in Helena remains central as Governor Gianforte courts more aerospace work for Montana during a trade mission to India. The company has expanded its Helena operations for major aircraft programs and recently backed local students with a $100,000 robotics grant through the Helena Education Foundation, aiming to grow future STEM careers here.
3. U.S. colleges cut tuition as families question the value of a degree (latination.com) — Carroll College in Helena plans a major tuition reset by fall 2027, cutting listed costs about 40% and dropping general fees to make prices less intimidating for families. The move is part of a broader national trend of private colleges slashing sticker prices and simplifying financial aid so students better understand the real cost of a four-year degree.
4. Montana Department of Labor & Industry Honors 2026 Governor's Safety Achievement and Workers' Compensation Award Winners (mt.gov) — From Helena, state labor officials highlighted Montana employers and safety leaders who earned the 2026 Governor's Safety Achievement and Workers' Compensation Awards.
