We are so proud to celebrate two of our incredible students, Roxanne Quigley and Bianca Sagness, who have been named **North Dakota STEM All-Stars!** 🎉
Each year, only six students across the state are selected for this honor, recognizing their hard work, dedication to education, and genuine love of learning. To have two students from our school chosen is truly something special.
As STEM All-Stars, they will be recognized during STEM Night at a Bismarck Larks game, receive a personalized team jersey, tickets for their families, and be celebrated both in the game program and on the field. They’ll also enjoy a family pass to Gateway to Science and participate in the exciting STEM Expo filled with hands-on activities.
This recognition reflects not only their curiosity and determination, but also the bright future they are building through learning and exploration.
Please join us in congratulating these outstanding students! 👏

As the school year comes to a close, we’re proud to spotlight our seniors and celebrate all they’ve accomplished. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment have not gone unnoticed. We are so proud of everything you’ve achieved and can’t wait to see what’s next for you!
