Happy Veterans Day- Today we honor Veterans Day — a time to thank all the brave men and women who have served in our Armed Forces. Their courage and sacrifice protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.

If you know a veteran, take a moment to say thank you.

📸 Picture Retake Day is Thursday!

If you need a form, extras are available in the office.
Students getting retakes should remember to bring back their original picture packets on Thursday.

The Cats traveled to Madison for their first test on the road, our boys battled until the final buzzer. Losing by only 4 points, our defensive effort was felt the whole game with numerous tips, steals, and jump balls forced. Our scoring;  Brenden Edward’s 6 points, Kolton Turbeville 3 points, Jacob Mattausch 3 points, Carter Elliot, Reade brown, cash Tomford 2 points, Owen Ohlmen contributed 1 point to go along with a tremendous defensive effort.

Onsted 8th grade boys basketball team lost on the road to a tough Madison team. Abel Kopka lead the Cats with 6 points and several rebounds. Ma’Kai Brenneman scored 4 points and Kellen Kimbrell 3 points. Nate Gust and Zander Springer played exceptional defense and hustled the whole game.
