Shout out to the Junior High Quiz Bowl team for placing in the Top 10 out of 25 schools at the ESU #8 competition in Neligh!
Students in the BC Shop have been busy this quarter. Construction has been working on our introduction to plumbing, Woods students are well into their tables and personal projects, and Robotics is wrapping up our unit on competition style robots.
Due to the lack of subs available and the number of activities taking place on Friday, February 28, students in grades 7-12 will not have to physically report to school. 7-12 students will have a virtual learning day which means they will have assignments for their classes to be completed on-line. Elementary students will have a regular day and buses will run their normal AM and PM routes on Friday, February 28, 2025.
JH Quiz Bowlers ready to compete in Neligh! (See link posted earlier for a live competition feed)

Righteous participated in speech and golf for one season each. When asked to name a favorite teacher, Righteous mentioned former shop instructor Mr. Mike Couch. Righteous stated, “He was a very funny guy and a hard worker.” He added that shop was his favorite class because he enjoyed working on projects with his friends.
Outside of school, Righteous works part-time in the meat department at Hy-Vee, a position he has held for two years. He also enjoys fishing and working on cars in his spare time.
