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!

Our Manufacturing Class recently completed a meaningful group project - building burial flag display cases to give back to those who have served. 🇺🇸
Students had the honor of presenting the finished cases to Clayton County Veterans Affairs Administrator Chris Jordan. This project gave students the opportunity to learn new skills while making a lasting impact in our community.
Great work to everyone involved! 👏
