BOURBON — Mariah and Sydney Musilli were called up front during Triton's school board meeting this week in recognition of a recent selfless deed they had performed. The two sisters, students in Triton’s school system, had assisted their neighbors during a house fire.
“We always say we have good kids and a good community,” commented Carl Hilling, superintendent. “And this is just one of those things that shows it is what it is. We can back up what we say.”

The Triton School Corporation will begin the 2012-13 school year with a new superintendent, as Donna Burroughs was named superintendent to replace retiring Superintendent Carl Hilling.
Burroughs will officially begin at Triton July 1.
Burroughs said, “I’m excited about the opportunity for working with great teachers at Triton. I believe we can make great things happen for the children at Triton. Triton Schools are the best kept secret in Marshall County.”
