After 47 years working in FWCS â the last 17 as superintendent â Wendy Robinson retired.
In her stead, Mark Daniel was hired to become the districtâs new leader, assuming the job officially July 1. Daniel, a Fort Wayne native, graduated from North Side High School in 1979.
Since joining the district, Daniel has laid out an aggressive agenda, only put on hold recently when he found out he tested positive for COVID-19.
After testing positive Nov. 18, Daniel self-quarantined and began working from home. He said since his diagnosis, heâs beginning to feel much better, though at first, he suffered fever, cough, headache and loss of smell and taste, adding that his sense of taste hasnât fully returned yet.
Ethan Ferba had big plans for the offseason.
The Hobart diver got a taste of competing against the best when he finished 26th at the IHSAA state swimming and diving competition last February in Indianapolis.
When Ferba returned to Northwest Indiana, he sat down with Hobart diving coach Katharine Rinas and the two put together a summer workout plan that would allow the then-sophomore to take his diving to the next level.
Then COVID-19 hit and pools around the Region shutdown, including Hobartâs sparkling new swim facility.
âWhen everything with COVID happened, it was bad,â Ferba said. âWe had a whole summer planned out for workouts. It made all those plans go away.â

Nothing could ve prepared him for the news he would receive during his shift. I actually got a text that morning from a college coach saying, Dwayne, congratulations! I saw you on (TV), Johnson said.
