The Iowa State Board of Education has adopted an updated version of math standards for student learning. These teachers spent time learning about the updates from a team at the Iowa Department of Education. More evidence of the Bobcat Wheel in motion!


Administrators spent time in a leadership camp focused on standards and professional growth processes. This learning was delivered by Dr. Denise Schares from UNI and was made possible through a grant from the Kern Family Foundation.




High School Band and Choir recently traveled to Disney, Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot. While at Disney, they went to an "Engineering a Theme Park" workshop. Students were able to work with the staff at Disney, as well as each other, to design their own theme park. Everyone had a great time!
