Our Senior Spotlights continue today with Collin Jaster. Congratulations, Collin!
Stormy weather may have cut the night short, but the girls still delivered with 8 new PRs and 6 season-best marks. A strong showing all around!
Today was a unique hands-on learning experience for our Outdoor Recreation class. One of our students harvested a wild turkey this morning and generously shared it with the class.
Students had the opportunity to observe the process and learn about the different cuts of meat, gaining a better understanding of where their food comes from and the skills involved in processing it. A great day of real-world learning and appreciation for the outdoors!

The high school boys track team enjoyed a great night of weather and competition in Oelwein last night! The team recorded 8 placings, 4 new personal records, and 3 additions or moves on the Central Top 10 list.
Our main focus was on the relay events, and the progress is really showing. The handoffs are cleaner, the chemistry is improving, and the results are starting to stack up. A lot of positive momentum right now, and the hard work is paying off!
