For the newly named superintendent of Nickerson-South Hutchinson Schools, life is what you make of it. Along with his suit-andtie job of running a high school in Bennington, Curtis Nightingale is a musician. While attending Newton High School, he played the cornet in band and participated in musical theater, but it was in college where he realized his passion for the bass guitar and his love for several types of contemporary music – from 1950s and ’60s classics to blues to heavy metal. “It was the guitar that struck me,” Nightingale said.

Matt Lindsey, KICA president, said he believes the phenomenon of better-than-expected enrollment at the private colleges is likely because of a few particular reasons. First, Kansas’ independent colleges weren’t immune to the same downward trend in Kansas high school students’ college-going rate, which was exacerbated by the effect the pandemic had on first-year freshman enrollment rates all around the country. But any trends down in enrollment were buoyed by a significant increase in the number of out-of-state students, who Lindsey said might have seen the more rural Kansas as an “oasis” during spring and summer 2020, when students either finalized or switched plans for their 2020-2021 college years.
