Goreville High School senior Martin Powell has been named 1st Team All-Conference in the Black Diamond Conference in football! This is the first year that the Vienna-Goreville Football Team has competed at the varsity level, the first year Goreville has EVER had football, and the first time Martin has EVER played organized football! Martin was also named the Defensive MVP by his team.
The Vienna-Goreville football season was highly successful. Not only did the varsity program when three games, the sophomores won several games and the freshman were very competitive. Without a doubt, Vienna-Goreville football has gained respect in its first year!
Congratulations Martin!!! We are very proud of you and the accomplishments of the Vienna-Goreville Football Program!!! |

Goreville Community Unit School District #1 was awarded $210,000 by the Illinois Department of Transportation's Safe Routes to School program to enhance their infrastructure to enable and encourage local students to walk and bike to school and school activities. The Illinois Safe Routes to School program provides schools and community groups with funding to build safer routes to schools and activity areas, to provide programs helping students become safer walkers and cyclists, and to encourage children to get the exercise they need to lead happy, healthy lives. Goreville Schools and the Village of Goreville have teamed up to use this funding to repair existing sidewalk areas and connect the main artery of sidewalks to a new sidewalk that provides a safe route to and from the school and the City Park. This funding will be added to the grant Goreville Schools received last year of approximately $36,000 for crosswalks and warning lights. Congratulations Goreville Schools and the Goreville community!!! |
