Caleb Gaeddert of Hutchinson, Kansas, and Sean Johnson of Littleton, Colorado, have been selected as Sterling College’s spring 2016 Teachers of Promise. Each semester, two candidates who will be clinical teaching during the following year are recognized by Sterling College and the Kansas State Department of Education for their exemplary character, dedication and achievement. Gaeddert is an elementary education major, and Johnson is majoring in history education.

On Friday and Saturday, March 4-5, students from schools across the state will gather at Sterling College to take part in the Phi Beta Lambda Spring State Leadership Conference. Phi Beta Lambda is the collegiate subdivision of Future Business Leaders of America, and Sterling College has been a member of this organization since 2011.

Music, drama, politics and love are not typically related to the game of chess, but all of these elements will come together on the stage during Sterling College’s spring musical. In “Chess,” American and Russian grand masters face off at an international championship where a behind-the-scenes love triangle and political battle is taking place. Audiences can catch the “game” in Culbertson Auditorium March 3-5 at 8 p.m.
