At student led conferences this Spring we challenged all the high school students to see which class could have the highest proportion of students participating. Our sophomores won with 56.25%, narrowly beating the freshman with 56%, and the juniors with 55.56%. The prize is a 1:05 PM dismissal on a day of their choosing. The sophomores met this afternoon to decided they would like to be dismissed at 1:05PM next Friday, April 23rd. We will be sending home permission slips with our sophomores where you will indicate their mode transportation. Please return them ASAP!

Congratulations to Udall junior, Cameron Hutchison, on the word we just received from SGT Hunter Dierks of KSARNG RRNCO! "On Friday 26 March 2021, PVT Cameron Hutchison raised his right hand and swore into the Kansas Army National Guard. PVT Hutchison will be an 89B Ammunition Specialist part time working 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks in the summer. Through this part time employment, he will be able to graduate college debt free! PVT Hutchison enlisted under the Split Training Option, meaning he will attend Basic Combat Training between his Junior and Senior year, then attend Advanced Individual Training for his Ammunition Specialist job upon completion of his Senior year at Udall High School. Thank you to the staff at Udall High School for helping educate Cameron and mold him into the young man he is today! Due to this education, Cameron scored exceptionally well on the ASVAB, qualifying him for extra incentives upon enlistment!"
