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.
My name is Koby Capper, and I am excited to join the AGWSR team as the K-12 TAG teacher! On my free time, I love to hang out with my boys!
Hello Cougar Country, my name is Caden Sporleder.
I am the new Agriculture Teacher and Co-FFA Advisor in the school district. I recently graduated from Iowa State University (Go Cyclones!)
I enjoy watching sports, spending time with friends and family, traveling, and being active.
I am excited for the school year, and to be a part of the school district and community!
Go Cougars!!
Happy Wednesday Cougars!
I'm Joel Thiessen and I'll be filling in as the long-term substitute at the high school for Biology this year! This will be my second full year at AGWSR High School, where I've also been a para-educator and the LAIR Associate. I had also worked as a substitute teacher before joining the Cougar team.
I love hanging out with my dog, building Lego, and anything sports related. I'm also super excited to be helping out with the football team this year!
It's going to be a great year and I look forward to working with your students!!
Get your Cougar Strength Gear and help us to continue to support our athletes in the weight room!

Cougar Cheer spent time with M & M Elite Athletics working on stunting & tumbling skills, some jumps and kick line skills.....long hours of hard work & these girls still had a positive attitude, kept laughing, & working together as one team. I am so proud of them! True Cougar Spirit! You will have to wait to see the stunts though!!! Make sure to come help these ladies cheer on our teams this year!
