During his junior year, Dana earned a paid summer internship with Ward Apparatus, where he worked in the Fabrication Department helping assemble the bodies of fire trucks. His outstanding performance led to continued employment, and he is still contributing his skills and work ethic to the team today.
Dana’s success is a powerful example of what happens when talent, opportunity, and hard work come together. He is a proud representative of the Watkins Glen Class of 2026, and he continues to make us #WGProud every step of the way.

Our student-run store, The Hawk House, donated $9,400 to The DubG Market, representing 20% of its profits from the 2024–2025 school year. According to the Food Bank of the Southern Tier, this generous contribution will support more than 28,000 meals for families in need.
Proceeds from The Hawk House not only make this donation possible but also help fund opportunities for students across the District that are not supported by the general budget. Since its inception just a few years ago, The Hawk House has provided support for Ski Club transportation to Greek Peak, lodging and travel for our Drone Soccer Team, spirit wear for student-athletes, and many other student-led initiatives.
With the steadfast leadership of Mrs. Kaz Popovich (The Hawk House/Varsity Club) and Mrs. Amy Planty (The DubG Market/Junior Honor Society), these student-run organizations embody the leadership, generosity, and pride that make Watkins Glen CSD so special.
Special thank you to all of the WGCSD students that made this possible, the Food Bank of the Southern Tier for their partnership and for organizing the event, and to the Odessafile, WENY, and WETM for their media support and coverage.
