Congratulations to the JH Lady Hawks Volleyball team on their end of the season win. Over the last couple of months, the team competed in regular season games, a quad, and were runners up in the JH Panco Tournament. The team focused on building fundamentals and teamwork through the season. Thank you to our 8th graders for your leadership! Thank you also to our dedicated families and friends for supporting the team!

Additional Rural Health Transformation Program Announcement
🥩🍗 ADDITIONAL RURAL HEALTH TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT 🥗🍓
One of the most exciting developments is a new partnership between Hay Springs Public Schools and Open 6 Cattle. Open 6 Cattle has received a Notice of Intent to Award for $203,100 through Nebraska’s Rural Health Transformation Program, Equipment and Infrastructure Grant Initiative 1.3.
The project will support expanded agricultural production and farm-to-fork opportunities connected to Hay Springs Public Schools, creating authentic, hands-on learning experiences for students in our agriculture classes and FFA program.
This is much more than an equipment or infrastructure project. Our students will have opportunities to be directly involved in the work; from livestock and agricultural production to welding, greenhouse and food-production experiences; while learning firsthand how locally produced food can move from the farm to the school cafeteria. It brings together agriculture education, career and technical education, FFA, local producers, and school nutrition in a way that is uniquely suited to a rural community like Hay Springs.
We are incredibly grateful to Joseph and Frankie Johnson with Open 6 Cattle for their partnership and willingness to help create these opportunities for our students. Their involvement is helping us envision a true farm-to-fork model in which our kids aren’t simply learning about agriculture; they are actively participating in it.

Students of the Week for Oct. 12, 2026
CSC Women’s Choir Day
On Wednesday, October 14th, 3 Hay Springs high school women singers participated in the CSC Women’s Choir Day. Rehearsals began at 9am and concluded with a concert at 2:30pm. Follow the link below to watch this performance. If you can’t watch the entire thing, I’d recommend that you go to 7 minutes and 30 seconds and watch the song called Lineage (all the girls agreed this was their favorite song!) It was a fun day of making something beautiful together.
Rural Health Transformation Program Grant
🍎 EXCITING NEWS FOR HAY SPRINGS PUBLIC SCHOOLS! 🍎
Hay Springs Public Schools has received notice of a $96,266.27 award through the Rural Health Transformation Program: School Kitchen Modernization Grant!
The investment in kitchen equipment will help us transform what is possible in our school and continue moving toward more fresh, scratch- and semi-scratch-prepared meals for our students.
What does that mean for our Hawks? More meals prepared right here at school using whole and minimally processed ingredients, greater opportunities to serve locally and regionally raised Nebraska beef, pork, and other proteins, more fresh foods, and less reliance on heat-and-serve products.
We live in the heart of an incredible agricultural community, and we are excited to continue building connections between the food raised around us and the meals served to our students.
Raised here. Prepared here. Served to our Hawks. 🥩🌱🍽️
We are incredibly excited about what this investment will make possible for the future of the Hay Springs school nutrition program, and we look forward to sharing updates as equipment is purchased, installed, and utilized!
