Entering my second season as head coach, we look to build on last year as we return 10 players that either started on varsity or played meaningful innings during the 2022 season. We continue to see more and more kids signing up to play baseball at all levels. We look forward to where this season takes up as we continue to get better each day! GO HUSKIES!

Do you excel at trivia? Do you know what a palindrome is?  How about the mass number of hydrogen?  Well then Knowledge Bowl may be for you!!  During the competition, teams of students compete in written and oral rounds by answering questions related to a wide range of topics. Questions test students' recall, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.  The competition season runs from January-March.

FFA is a student-lead organization that prepares members for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. FFA develops members’ potential and helps them discover their talent through hands-on experiences, which give members the tools to achieve real-world success. Members are future chemists, veterinarians, government officials, entrepreneurs, bankers, international business leaders, teachers and premier professionals in many career fields.

Members compete in Career Development Events like Horse Evaluation, Food Science and Technology, Fish and Wildlife Management, and in Leadership Development Events like Prepared Public Speaking and Parliamentary Procedure. They also plan and execute chapter events such as activities during National FFA Week in February, a petting zoo in the spring, and many more!

Advisor Audrey Schleper is the Agricultural Education teacher here at Pillager. Her favorite part of advising the chapter is watching members develop new skills, confidence, and a passion for all things FFA.
