Each Thursday, we’re highlighting one of our seniors and their unique high school experience. This week, meet Jocelyn and hear her favorite memories, advice to her younger self, and future plans. Graduation is getting closer! 🎓

Matt Vieselmeyer set up some of our seniors going into ag and their FFA advisor and husband with a: ✅ private jet ride ✅ tour of the Beck's headquarters in Indiana ✅ some great food and outstanding education on the story and research of Beck's. Thank you, Matt! 🌽

"Accepting No for an Answer" was a lesson last semester in guidance and these elementary students did a great job of showing that. 👏 👏 👏 We celebrated with our monthly "Popcorn with the Principal" and played some games as well! Good work, kids!

The JH BBB game vs. Superior on 1-15-2026 has been postponed due to illness at Superior. We will make-up this game when we travel to Superior on 1-27-26 for HS BB. The JH will play at 4:30 PM (prior to the boys JV basketball game).

Our middle school social skill of the week is "Following Directions". Students learned the skill, yesterday, and will continue to practice in the days to follow. Parents - feel free to watch the video and encourage these skills at home!
