And now an update from State Speech: Unfortunately, Ryan did not make it to finals. However, he still had a fantastic season and - as a sophomore - still has two more years with us. We are so proud of Ryan and his achievements. Congrats! Another thing to celebrate: The Minnesota Speech Coaches Association (MSCA) has released the names of 127 speech competitors, representing 48 different high schools, who have earned a spot on the 2026 MSCA All-State Speech Team. Senior Captain, Ceiliah Slama, has been named to this prestigious team! To qualify for All-State, speakers must attain a set of milestones established by the MSCA. Those qualifications include being a senior in high school and documented excellence in competition, including at least one appearance at the MSHSL State Speech Tournament. Congratulations to Ceiliah on her hard work over her career on the team!

For the month of April, our PBIS theme has been Responsibility in Relationships. We want to focus on helping students understand the importance of being accountable for how they treat others. Responsibility in relationships means being honest, respectful, and supportive, as well as recognizing the impact their words and actions have on their peers, teachers, and family members.

Teachers encouraged students to take ownership of their role in building healthy, positive relationships. Whether it's resolving conflicts, being a good listener, or showing kindness, their efforts can strengthen the bonds they share with others.

Congratulations to these students of the month for April! Not pictured: Riddick.

Congratulations to our March students of the month! These students were nominated by their teachers for displaying 'respect for community'.

The March PBIS theme was Respect for Community. Staff encouraged students to understand the importance of contributing to and caring for the community around them—whether it’s their classroom, school, or neighborhood. Respect for community means taking pride in shared spaces, supporting others, and understanding how individual actions can positively or negatively affect the larger group.

As we focused on this theme, staff inspired students to engage in activities that strengthened our community, such as keeping common areas clean, being kind and inclusive, and showing support for school events and initiatives.

Congratulations to these students!

Ninth grade students enjoyed their tour of the SPAM Museum and Hormel Nature Center in Austin, MN today while students in the building took their MCA tests. They went on guided tours of the museum and the Nature Center Interpretive Center was open, allowing them to see the live animal exhibits. It looks like some of you need a pet snake!

We are excited to announce "Knights Give Back" day: an opportunity for our students to give back to our local communities as a way to say THANK YOU for supporting us! Our communities have "shown up" for our students in so many ways through attending events, donating supplies, career shadowing opportunities and monetary donations and now we are setting aside time for our students to "show up" for you.
