"Every child deserves a champion - an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be." ~Rita Pierson
As the school year comes to a close, we proudly celebrate and honor three exceptional educators who are retiring after years of dedicated service to Breckenridge Community Schools.
Mrs. Angela Graham, Mrs. Amanda Willman, and Miss Malissa Hesse have each made a lasting impact on the lives of our students, staff, and community. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment to education have helped shape generations of Huskies.
We are incredibly grateful for the difference you've made and the legacy you leave behind. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement — once a Huskie, always a Huskie! 💙💛🐾

Egg Drop Results Are In!
After weeks of planning, building, and a lot of egg-citement, our Egg Drop Competition is officially wrapped up!
Students tested their physics skills by designing creative contraptions to protect their eggs from a high-flying fall off the football bleachers Using concepts like momentum, impulse, and air resistance, they proved that science can be both smart and messy!

Mrs. Baldwin got to send her 7th graders off with something sweet — thanks to a generous donation from Mount Pleasant Crumbl Cookie! Students combined creativity and history to design cookies inspired by ancient civilizations. Ask your 7th grader which civilization they chose and how they brought it to life in cookie form!
