Due to an increase in negative lunch account balances from school year 24-25, we will be sending reminder letters out twice a week. Please plan accordingly for the children in your household to have a current lunch balance.

Hello Cougar nation! My name is Alex McCready, and I'm glad to be back! I'm ready to begin my 3rd year of teaching. I'll be teaching Chemistry and Physics here at the high school, and I'm excited to get started! I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from ISU, and I hope to share my passion for all things science with my original home district. If you don't know me well, I'm also well versed in strength training, woodworking, and all things nature.
Last night, we hosted our 2nd Parent & Athlete/Performer information night. If you were unable to attend or want to review the information, please see the linked slideshow.
