Custom designed shoes created by students from Central Bucks South helped the school place in the top 50 finalists and earn a chance to win $60,000.
Central Bucks High School South art teacher Jessica Fidler had students in her fine arts classes created a line of custom sneakers using shoes donated by Vans Shoes as part of its annual Custom Culture art competition. The students were then responsible for designing and executing four designs based on the following categories: art, music, action sports, and local flavor.

The CB South marching band came home from a national competition with some impressive hardware.
The CB South marching band has done it again. The Marching Titans took the state championship for the second year in a row recently, then went on to capture second place in a national competition.

The pressure of studying for good grades, finishing the big class project and balancing the schedule of sports and extra-curriculars with a social life can quickly build up. That horrible feeling that all the responsibilities are too much to handle is just as bad as that feeling of relief is good when everything works out. It's the perfect theme for the program Central Bucks High School South Band Director Michael Robinson has put together this year for the high school's championship-winning marching band. "It's all about that catharsis," said Robinson. "The first part is tension-based, with a lot of energy and intensity. The middle part becomes peaceful and serene, with a …
