Teams of Teachers vs Students (or even vs Administrators?) would be a great and fun way to get our community involved. Feel free to reach out to family, friends, or others as well! Secondly, we also encourage any club/organization advisors to reach out if they would be interested in selling items as fundraising for their own club. The trivia starts at 6:00, but doors open at 5:15, and there will be other opportunities for people to walk around and mingle. Tables of up to 6 people on a team are available for $30. The Trivia will be from 6pm-8pm, and doors open at 5:15. Please help spread the word, as this is our first ever Trivia Night! We want the community to be involved!

Help us celebrate Wisconsin School Bus Driver Appreciation Week February 12-16th! 🚍🎉 Our bus drivers take so much care to get our students transported safely. Thank you! Please help us by thanking them below for going the extra mile for our district!

Yesterday, sophomore class reps Mya Gonzalez and Emma Dawson, and junior class reps, Aubrie Waswo and Annabelle Pearce headed to Jefferson High School to attend a RVC Leadership Event. They participated in a variety of fun activities, volunteer opportunities, and a round table discussion.

According to the National Association of School Resource Officers, "SROs are carefully selected, specifically trained, sworn law enforcement officers assigned by an employing law enforcement agency to work with schools using community-oriented policing concepts." These officers play a distinctive threefold role, acting as informal mentors or counselors, providing education on the law, and serving as law enforcement officers to ensure the safety of the students and communities they serve. Our school resource officer David Pohlman serves as an important bridge between youth, law enforcement, and the communities he serves. Thank you for keeping our students safe.
