For those of you who possess a great love for reading or a competitive soul, I suggest you put those attributes to use and join our high school's "Reading Team." Each year, participants read novels selected by the WIRC, the Westmoreland Interscholastic Reading Competition, then work with a team of fellow readers to compete in the annual competition held at Seton Hill University in March. Each team consists of up to 12 members who work to compete against other teams from across the county to correctly answer as many questions about the novels they've read.
To participate in this fantastic organization, led by Mrs. Brown, you may read selections from the following WIRC list along with links to provide a synopsis of each text: All the Light We Cannot See Avalon Backlash Between Shades of Gray Birthmarked Breaking Night Belzhar Conversion The Cure for Dreaming A Death-Struck Year The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion, & the Fall of Imperial Russia Glory O'Brien's History of the Future If You Find Me Kiss of Deception A Mad, Wicked Folly Noggin October Mourning: A Song for Matthew Shepard Panic Positive Prince of Venice Beach The Red Queen Say What You Will Shadow and Bone Stolen The Story of Owen: Dragon Slayer of Trondheim Three Rivers Rising: A Novel of the Johnstown Flood To All the Boys I've Loved Before Unwind We Were Liars

As we work through the ELA PSSA exams, our classes will re-explore the world of Sherlock Holmes and read author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "A Scandal in Bohemia."
The following links will provide students with a copy of the text and a recording of a reading of the short story.
