CONGRATULATIONS to Caden Culbertson who received the Believers and Achievers award. This is a state-wide award program that recognizes Nebraska’s future leaders. To be eligible, seniors must have a minimum 3.5 GPA. They also look at NSAA activity participation, school involvement, community involvement and an essay that the applicant submits.
This is quite an accomplishment as only 48 students were selected out of the 635 applications received from 235 different schools. These 48 students will be recognized at NSAA State Championships throughout the 2025-26 activities year and on a poster sent to all NSAA member schools.
WAY TO GO, CADEN!!




Recovering from Homecoming Week is a real thing, and some posts slipped through the cracks.
This year's homecoming class representatives included freshmen Stella Williams and Kade Peters, sophomores Ella Skinner and Monte Hajny, and juniors Paige Huston and Jace Hoelting.
Our homecoming queen candidates included seniors Raylene Miller, Harley Beale, and Natalie Jacobitz. Our homecoming king candidates included seniors Owen Smiley, Nathan Pofahl, and Caden Culbertson.
On October 10th, last year's homecoming royalty, joined by kindergarten crown bearers Lindy Faimon and Case Bargen, walked up the football field to crown this year's homecoming king and queen. The student body voted and our 2025 Homecoming King and Queen were Harley Beale and Caden Culbertson.
Congratulations to our newly crowned royalty!
