Castle to get new LED stadium lights

By Nick Abramo on August 10, 2017

New LED lights are being installed at the Castle football field, according to Department of Education spokesperson Lindsay Chambers.

Hao says loyalty is No. 1 objective at Castle

By Paul Honda on January 12, 2017

In the decades since John Hao quarterbacked Saint Louis to a Prep Bowl title, played at Hawaii and coached at various schools, he has accomplished something few people would do. Or want to do. Hao, who was hired as the varsity football coach at Castle on Wednesday, fixes nuclear submarines. Or more accurately, he oversees more than 300 workers who repair the US Navy’s supreme vessels. Hao, himself, is built for the task at Castle, where Nelson Maeda engineered a […]
