Tonight’s Home Girls Wrestling Round Robin Tournament (Queen of the Prairie) will be broadcast on the school’s Hudl channel and Venture channel.
Please note that the camera view will be a wide, panned-out angle in order to capture both mats during competition.
But there will be no admission charged for tonight’s Round Robin Tournament. We would love for everyone to come out and support our girls wrestlers.

Pizza, presents, and epic dance moves!
The Art Club had an absolute BLAST at our holiday party! We fueled up on pizza and treats before diving into our Secret Santa gift exchange. To top it all off, we broke out Just Dance and showed off some serious skills.
There’s no better way to wrap up the semester than with a little Christmas cheer and a lot of laughter. Happy Holidays, everyone!
Spread some holiday cheer! Our talented High School Art students have been hard at work "painting it forward" this season.
Staff members in our school received a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted Christmas card created specifically for them. It’s been wonderful watching our students use their creativity to show appreciation for the teachers and staff who support them every day.
Merry Christmas from the Art Classroom!
Last-minute gift? 🎁
$5 Sully Buttes concession stand vouchers available now!
Pick them up at the concession stands today and Monday!
Meet Mrs. Tassler’s resident troublemakers, Frida and Pablo! While they might look like your average holiday guests, these two have a serious passion for the arts.
This year, they’ve been busy making a mess for educational purposes, of course! From teaching our students about art history and future careers in the creative world to showing off just how limitless your imagination can be, Frida and Pablo are proving that a little mischief goes a long way.
Check out some of their favorite "masterpiece mischiefs" from this season!
Dodge, duck, dip, dive… and smile! 🤩
MS/HS Dodgeball fun is officially underway, and our students are bringing the energy! We love seeing the laughter, teamwork, and school spirit in action.
We are so grateful for our amazing students and wish each and every one of you a very Happy Holiday! 🎄✨

Second Grade Super Spellers! Great job!👏
Sophomores in Biology have been busy learning all about DNA. They constructed a candy DNA strand and then proceeded through the transcription and translation processes to synthesize proteins.
Physical science students had the opportunity to test the Law of Conservation of Matter using popcorn! They set up their own lab procedure to investigate how the mass of a popcorn kernel changes before and after popping.
Let's flood the gym with purple and gold tonight!
Advanced Biology students brought the 1st semester to a close with a chicken wing dissection. This dissection took a close look at connections between the muscular and skeletal systems.
