Come support the Jr. High Baseball Team at Pizza Villa tonight!!
Bright and early this morning, our dedicated FFA kids kicked off the livestock portion of the 2026 Union County Fair!
Cobden FFA and advisor Mrs. Smith hosted the Section 24 FFA Horse Show, and it was a huge success.
Shoutout to:
Mrs. LeFevre (Cobden’s former FFA advisor) for taking the time to judge the event!

We are so proud of all the hard work, dedication, and long hours these kiddos have put into their horses all year long.
Big Congratulations:
Lola Pierson (AJ) – Grand Champion Horse

It is with profound sadness that Cobden Unit School District #17 learned of the sudden and tragic passing of former student Mariana Fabian in a car accident.
Mariana will always be remembered as a member of our Cobden school family. The loss of a young life is heartbreaking, and our thoughts are with Mariana’s family, friends, and all those who knew and loved her during this incredibly difficult time.
We know that news of this tragedy may deeply affect our students, staff, and community. We will continue to support one another and provide care and compassion to those who are grieving.
Our hearts are with the Fabian family. Once an Appleknocker, always an Appleknocker. We will hold Mariana’s memory close and keep her loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.
Come support the Jr. High Baseball Team!!!!
