After two years without a school dance/drill team, Vinton-Shellsburg High School will bring back the Voyagers next year.

Several students petitioned the school board to renew the program, which, along with many other extracurricular programs, was cut because of state funding issues in 2010.

A few former Voyagers and others interested in the program attended the school board meeting on Monday.

Board Members voted to restore funding for the drill team, as well as the boys swimming team and the Middle School play. Supporters of the swim team have helped that program to continue with donations, and ACT 1 has helped with covering the costs of the VSMS play.

The high school girls who attended the meeting said they have been talking to some potential coaches, but noone has been hired yet.
