Comments Off on PANCO Choir Clinic

On Thursday, October 29th PANCO schools will come together and make a large choir. They will rehearse all day and then perform a concert at 3pm in the Hay Springs auditorium. At the concert, each school will be performing a solo selection and then the mass choir will perform. Please plan to join us for this unique opportunity where schools that usually compete against each other get to come together and create something beautiful instead. The choir will be directed by Lindsey Torgerson who is the Rapid City Central director of choirs. Hope to see you there!

🎶 OUR LITTLE HAWKS TOOK THE STAGE! 🎶

Our K–2 students recently packed the house for a wonderful afternoon of music, dancing, storytelling, and plenty of smiles!

🐘 Kindergarten presented Elephant’s Story, narrated by student teacher Ms. Madison Schaefer.

🎵 1st & 2nd Grade presented BINGO

Both groups did a fantastic job telling their stories through lots of singing and dancing!

A fan favorite may have been “I Wanna Be a Kid Again.” And after this performance, we’re thinking some of these Hawks just might have a future in singing telegrams!

A huge THANK YOU to music teacher Raime Varvel and student teacher Madison Schaefer for putting together such a great program!

Special thanks also go to Jodie Garrett for creating the sheep masks and canes, Larel Reimann for helping with sound, and all of our staff members who helped behind the scenes to make the show a success.

And finally, THANK YOU to our families and community members who came out and packed the house to support our little Hawks! We love seeing our community show up for our kids!

💚💛HAWK PROUD! 💛💚

Congratulations to Grant Wellnitz on competing at the State Cross Country Meet for the first time!

Grant represented Hay Springs well, fighting hard through a very difficult course and giving it everything he had. He even dug deep in the final stretch to pass another runner before crossing the finish line!

What a way to finish an incredible cross country season on a high note!

💚💛Congratulations, Grant, and Coach Matt on a great season! We are proud of the way you represented the Hawks at STATE! 💛💚

HAWKS SHINE AT CSC SCHOLASTIC DAY!

On Wednesday, October 21, 25 Hay Springs High School students traveled to Chadron State College to compete in the 2026 Scholastic Day Contest!

Our Hawks challenged themselves in a BIG way; completing 42 assessments across 27 different academic contest areas, including business, science, mathematics, agriculture, history, art, communication, finance, music, and more.

Students competed alongside high school students from across Nebraska and surrounding states, and when the results were posted, six Hay Springs performances finished in the TOP 25% of their respective contests! 🙌

🏆 Business Management Decision Making
🥈 Braydon Heiting, 11th Grade — 2nd Place
⭐ Easton Mintken, 11th Grade — 6th Place

⚖️ Business Law
🥉 Gage Didier, 10th Grade — 3rd Place

🧬 General Biology
⭐ Easton Mintken, 11th Grade — 9th Place

🔬 Physical Science
⭐ Gage Didier, 10th Grade — 9th Place

📐 Plane Geometry
🥉 Grant Wellnitz, 11th Grade — 3rd Place

That means four different Hawks earned top-25% recognition, with three performances finishing in the TOP THREE!

We are incredibly proud of ALL 25 students who stepped outside the classroom, challenged themselves academically, and represented Hay Springs High School at Chadron State College.

Academic competition gives our students another opportunity to discover their strengths, test their knowledge, and see how they measure up alongside students from schools throughout the region.

Congratulations to Braydon, Easton, Gage, and Grant on their outstanding finishes; and congratulations to all 25 of our Hawks for representing Hay Springs so well!
Way to SOAR, Hawks!
