Announcements for May 17 - 23, 2026
The last few days with the seniors have been so exciting to see! They spent a few days reminiscing and talking about all the memories made over the last 4 years of HS and ended their last day with a cake celebration and fun times with the parachute.....back to their elementary days!! It's been an awesome year!!
Oh, The Places You'll Go!!! Seniors wore something that represented their next chapter plans, from a 2-year school, 4-year private, 4-year public or the workforce....they have it all!! Congratulations & Best of luck to the Class of 2026!!!

Again, there will be no school for K-12 students on Thursday, May 14th with a regular preschool schedule.
Thank you!

Do my ACT scores really matter? Does my high school cumulative GPA really matter? The answer is YES THEY BOTH DO! If your ACT score is good, but your GPA is not, this can give off alarming red flags to colleges as they are left wondering if you have the ability for great academic achievement but lack the work ethic needed to succeed at the next level. If you are debating whether or not to take the ACT again, here is what it could mean for you:
At a 4-year public institution a composite of a 21 and up can range from $1000/yr all the way up to potentially full-tuition ($6057-$8730). These colleges also offer merit based scholarships looking at your GPA & ACT score for those full-tuition scholarships.
At a 4-year private institution a composite of a 21 and up can range from $2500/yr all the way up to a competitive full tuition scholarship ($10,170-$48,700). These colleges also offer merit based scholarships looking at your GPA & ACT score for those full-tuition scholarships.
At a 2-year public institution a composite of a 21 and up can range from $1620/yr up to $1643/yr ($2,100-$4,860)
There are several colleges in South Dakota that also offer In-State Tuition for Nebraska residents based on your ACT & HS cumulative GPA

Marketing students recently visited Sysco (wholesale restaurant food distributor) as part of their food truck creation unit. Students were able to tour the facility to learn about the process of picking and packing orders in both the dry and cold storage areas.
The highlight of the trip was the tasting kitchen in which students were prepared 2 dishes by Chef Michael Rhoades. He shared the process of helping restaurant owners develop their menu and perfect the ingredients used.
Students will wrap up on Friday with the food truck competition in which students in grades 7-12 will vote for their favorite themed truck! Stay tuned for results.
