45th Unparalleled

Episode Highlights: This week on the Double R Show, we celebrate an unparalleled season of success in North Lincoln County. In 45th Unparalleled, we highlight the remarkable partnership between Taft High School and Oregon Coast Community College that is helping students accelerate their educational journeys. This year, 45 members of Taft High School's Class of 2026 are expected to graduate having already earned 12 or more college credit hours—a powerful example of collaboration, opportunity, and student achievement. We also look at an extraordinary spring sports season, led by Taft High baseball's No. 1 ranking in Oregon and its bid for a state championship on the very same day as graduation. From the classroom to the ballfield, this is a story of students reaching new heights on the 45th Parallel.  * Zach Lillebo, Athletic Director, Taft 7-12 [https://www.facebook.com/tafthigh712athletics/] * Nick Lupo, Principal, Taft 7-12 [https://taft-high.lincoln.k12.or.us/o/tafthigh] * Dave Price, Vice President of Engagement, Oregon Coast Community College [https://oregoncoast.edu/] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DoubleRShow] * Double R Show [https://www.doublershow.com/] - Visit us online -  * Roger@DoubleRshow.com [Roger@DoubleRshow.com]- Email us today -  * facebook.com/DoubleRShow [https://www.facebook.com/DoubleRShow] - Follow us -  * Buy Double R a Donut [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DoubleRShow]- A way to support the podcast and local non-profits -  * Join as a Sponsor [roger@doublershow.com]- Advertise with us to promote your business -  All Ways Productions LLC   -  All Rights Reserved

Alive or Dead?

Episode Highlights: Is theater on its last breath—or very much alive?
