It is extremely difficult to make it this far and have the honor of competing in the top 16 at State. We are so proud of our student-athletes!

Mrs. Unruh travels many miles each week to support our students at their events and capture all of their amazing moments. THANK YOU, Mrs. Unruh! You are the BEST!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT -- SILAS REDENBAUGH! If you need help lifting something, moving something, setting up or tearing down for an event, or just general assistance on nearly any project, Silas is your guy! Silas has a huge servant's heart, and he is not afraid to jump into any situation to help someone out. Although he did have to battle through a knee injury his senior year, you also couldn't miss Silas out on the soccer field or on the basketball court all four years of high school. Silas is a National Honor Society member, a four-year honor roll recipient, and our KSHSAA Citizenship Award winner! Silas has already begun his electrical certification journey with classes at Hutchinson Community College, and he is looking forward to continuing in that field of study as he enters the work force. Silas, keep your eyes focused on Jesus and continue to let Him guide your steps! Congratulations!
