Congratulations to Lluvia Calihua Gonzales!
Her favorite high school memory is meeting Mr. Thackeray, and she loved his English II class because it was always full of laughter. Lluvia’s role model is her sister, and she says she couldn’t live without her family and her Justin. Her advice to underclassmen is to be involved and not miss out. The hardest part of senior year for her has been just showing up. After graduation, Lluvia’s goal is to live a happy life.
Just a reminder:
We will be holding an Evacuation Drill today at 2:45PM for Students & Staff.
This is ONLY A DRILL. Thank you.

Congratulations to senior Jesus Ivan Cuellar Pallares. One of his favorite memories from high school is being on Zoom during COVID because it was fun and everyone acted a little silly. His favorite class is weights because he wants to get stronger. Jesus says his role model is his brother, who has always been there for him and helped him while growing up. He says he couldn’t live without his truck, and if he could move anywhere, he would move to Texas so he could work on building it. His advice to younger students is to turn in all your assignments on time so you don’t fall behind. When asked about the most creative excuse he gave for missing homework, he said, “The homework ate my dog.” To show what he’s achieved in high school, Jesus points to his strength, his determination, and the fact that he made it through. He says the hardest part of senior year has been staying focused. After high school, Jesus plans to go to college and work toward earning a good income.
Due to the weather forecast for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we have decided to move the Morrill JH Track Invite to Thursday, May 8.

🎓 Congratulations, Kimberly Ruperto-Butanda! 🎓
We are so proud of Kimberly as she celebrates her high school graduation! Some of her favorite memories include attending Career Day at Eastern Wyoming College, where she discovered her passion for cosmetology. Kimberly’s love for art allowed her to express her imagination while listening to her favorite music.
Inspired by her biggest role model — her mom — Kimberly is ready to take on the future. Her advice to underclassmen is to cherish every moment and not worry about what others think, because nobody is perfect.
After high school, Kimberly plans to continue balancing her responsibilities and working toward her goals, with dreams of one day returning to her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. We can't wait to see all the amazing things you will accomplish, Kimberly! 🌟
Friday May 2nd our 8th Grade class will be traveling to Chadron State College for a campus visit.

🎓 Congratulations, Jay Peterson! 🎓
We are proud to celebrate Jay as he finishes his journey through high school! Some of Jay’s favorite memories include playing football and building strong connections with his teammates. His favorite class was college math, which helped prepare him for his future.
Jay’s advice for underclassmen is simple and powerful: “Do your work on time, and that’s all you need to get through high school.” His accomplishments are impressive — he is Valedictorian, earned a football letter as a freshman, and was selected for the National Honor Society his junior year.
After graduation, Jay plans to major in Diesel Technologies and open his own business.
Congratulations, Jay! We are excited to see everything you will achieve! 🌟
