Personal Finance Challenge

Several students from HSPS participated in the annual Personal Finance Challenge, where they tackled multiple-choice rapid-fire questions within a 30-minute time frame. Our team, Hawks24, achieved an impressive ranking of number 3 in the Western Nebraska region and number 7 overall. Out of 288 teams in the High School division, including 98 in Lincoln, 91 in Omaha, and 99 in Western Nebraska, our performance stood out.

This achievement has earned our students advancement to the regional competition in Kearney on April 5th.

Members of the team include Jordyn Anderson, Gage Mintken, Hunter McDonald, and Mason Marcy.

Connecting The Dots

On Tuesday, Nov. 8th, Hay Springs Freshmen and Sophomores attended the Connecting the Dots event hosted by Gordon High School and led by our local Nebraska 4-H extension office. Connecting the Dots is an interactive career exploration program designed to help 9th and 10th grade students learn more about careers of interest. Through the experience, participants learn how to “connect the dots” from early high school through post-secondary education and training to the workplace. Students were joined by local employers and employees who shared their advice for how to find successful and rewarding careers in the future.
