"My Passion, Your Impact" — a reflective activity that celebrates the people who've shaped our graduates' lives. Each senior selected a person who has made a meaningful impact on them during their high school journey and wrote a personal letter expressing their gratitude and sharing how that person influenced who they are today. To bring their story to life, seniors chose an item that represents one of their passions — sports equipment, an instrument, an organization jacket, or something else entirely — and posed for a photo with their chosen person, holding that object. These powerful moments captured not only the relationships that matter most, but also the unique passions and interests that make each graduate who they are.






The seniors attended Senior Send Off yesterday with Linn and Clifton/Clyde. They participated in engaging sessions covering topics that matter most as they head into the world: car maintenance, self-defense, mental health, financial literacy, nutrition, drugs and alcohol awareness, healthy relationships, and a student panel featuring recent graduates sharing insider tips on navigating life after high school.
Thank you to the local businesses for the incredible generosity of donating items for our swag bags! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the presenters who gave their time and expertise to share knowledge with our soon to be graduates. Your contributions made this day meaningful and memorable, and we know our Class of 2026 will carry these lessons with them wherever life takes them.

The Kindergarten class has been working through their economic unit. They have learned about wants and needs, saving and spending, community helpers, and how people work to make money.
First we helped our custodian Miss Katy cleaned the walls in our hallway and earned money. Then we walked to Mainstreet Market where we looked for different grocery items and used our money to buy a treat!
A big thank you to Katy, Janet Fritschi, and Mainstreet Market for their help!

Dare Graduation Info

Past graduates returned today to share real-world insights about navigating college life, mastering time management, and launching careers. These candid conversations give juniors and seniors an authentic peek into post-secondary life—straight from those who've lived it. Whether students are curious about dorm life, balancing coursework and social life, or choosing a career path, these alumni serve as relatable mentors who understand the transition ahead. It's the perfect opportunity for students to ask questions, gain confidence, and build connections with people who've walked in their shoes.

Due to incoming weather, the HS track meet scheduled for today (April 23) has been postponed until tomorrow (April 24) same start times.
