Badger students and families, Badger has been back to school for four weeks now and I want to thank you for all you are doing to help us maintain our ability to offer in-person education as well as a virtual option for our students and families. 2020 has not been an easy year for our students. The spring saw the cancellation of in-person school, sports, club activities, and traditions such as Prom. We know that this time is not ideal and as much as we try, there will continue to be traditions that we must set aside or modify as we continue to navigate this school year. 

Badger High School Principal Jenny Straus has been notified that the National Merit Scholarship Corporation recognized two Badger High School students, Jack E. Adams and Joseph E. Murphy, as semifinalists in the 66th Annual National Merit Scholarship Program. They are among approximately 16,000 seniors announced by officials of National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) as semifinalists this year. 

Thank you students and families for a great start to the Badger school year in a very unique year. Students have helped keep the school as healthy as possible and have gotten into the swing of classes. Our teachers have worked to ensure that all students, in-person, blended, or live-streaming, have access to high-quality instruction. I did want to take this opportunity to reinforce some points from the District Reopening Plan and also to give you updates as we move forward.
