STANDOUT Community,
On Wednesday your child will be requesting courses for the 25-26 school year. Your child would appreciate it if you worked alongside them to help them pick classes that are relevant for their futures. Each child will be sent the Course Description Guide via email to help you learn more about the class selections available. Your child will have to choose 7.5 semester's worth of classes along with Alternatives. When scheduling we have already included the classes that students have to take to stay on track to graduate.
Below is a worksheet to help you see the big picture of classes available for your child at this time. On the top it has your child circle the 16 career clusters that they are interested in pursuing post high school. This information will help you figure out courses that your child may find relevant. A major part of high school is getting students Career/College ready and knowing what they are interested in can help us make High School relevant to their interests.
We are requesting that all current Freshman - Juniors return their forms to the office by March 6, 2025.

Youth Apprenticeship
Skills USA
On Friday, February 21st the SkillsUSA team went to their last Regional Competition of the year in Appleton. We knew this one would be really tough because of the 22 plus teams that were going to be there. I am so proud to say that two Cardinals came home with medals. Sheldon Stransky took 2nd place in the Job Interview competition and Blake Staplemann took 3rd in the Facilithon.
Although the regular season is coming to an end, I am so proud of the kids for what they have accomplished this year. We brought home multiple medals in most of the competitions we attended. Now we are looking to the State Competition in April.
Marshall is taking five Skills members to the State Competition. Lucas Sclimgen and Carson Connelly in Welding, Sheldon Stransky in the Job Interview, Dalana Russell in Weld Sculpture, and Blake Staplemann in Facilithon. I can't wait to see how we do at the State Level.
Go Cards!!

Students who earned medals are as follows:

Brief descriptions of each of the 28 events in which students competed can be found at https://www.soinc.org/learn/c-event-short-descriptions.
For the second consecutive year, the entire team was awarded the region's traveling Spirit Trophy, based on votes by event supervisors' perceptions of which group of students best exemplifies teamwork, exhibits sportsmanlike conduct and positive attitude, and shows utmost respect for the rules, supervisors, and fellow competitors. Way to go, Cardinals!
