Earlier this month, we had the privilege of hosting members of the Guenther family for a tour of Central Elementary, the middle school, and our “new” high school. Their father, Richard Guenther, served as superintendent from 1961 to 1982, and all nine of his children graduated from Hastings High School.
Walking the halls, the siblings shared memories (like running through empty school buildings while their dad worked late until they were summoned to his office over the PA system), reminisced about band and athletics, and recalled the infamous senior “gauntlet” on the second floor. The Hastings Performing Arts Center was a new addition that they marveled at, a testament to our community's incredible support.
Although Tricia (Class of 1963) couldn't join us, we remembered her along with Annette (1965), Chuck (1966), Greta (1968), Kris (1970), John (1977), Bob (1978), Jeff (1980), and Buni (1982).
Their visit highlights our core mission to shape successful Saxons who make a difference in the world and return to support the schools that raised them.
Thank you, Guenther family, for the wonderful trip down memory lane! To infinity and beyond…and back.

Congratulations to Malillany, who passed the state's WIDA English Language Test! This demonstrates Malillany’s strong command of the English language and earned her a certificate as well as some fresh pencils for the new year. It's a huge accomplish for one of our ELL students. ¡Buen trabajo, Malillany!
Thursday already and we are Rockin'!

Last week, we celebrated a successful three weeks of innovation and creativity by welcoming parents to our Coding Camp finale.
Students demonstrated the projects they’ve worked so diligently on, including stop-motion videos, video games, and engineered cardboard games. They even capped off the celebration with some popsicles! Great work this summer!
