Applications are being accepted for the 2025-2026 Hancock Youth Leadership (HYL) program. Affiliated with the Findlay•Hancock County Chamber of Commerce, HYL is an investment in the future of Findlay and Hancock County. Its purpose is to enhance knowledge and develop leadership skills in a select group of high school students, motivating them to become positive role models, active and committed to their civic responsibilities.
In partnership with The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation, Cory-Rawson Local Schools is excited to announce the school’s Green & Gold Foundation Fund has reached its grant funding milestone. The fund will begin granting to school staff, coaches and administrators beginning in January 2026 to support enrichment opportunities for students across grade levels and programs. The fund will announce a capital campaign in the near future.
