Students are tested on their knowledge of soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatic ecology and current environmental issues. In addition, the Envirothon encourages cooperative decision-making and team building. While each student on a team is challenged individually to contribute his or her personal best, the score that counts at the end of the competition is the team score. A team consists of five students, all from the same high school. Retrieved from: https://ofswcd.org/envirothon.html

Anna High School's Home & Small Engine Maintenance students had a fantastic opportunity to participate in an "at-school field trip" with a team from Koenig Equipment last week. Koenig technicians lead the students through the process of routine maintenance and troubleshooting problems on the school's lawn equipment. This hands-on demonstration not only reinforced the practical life skills that are taught in Home & Engine Maintenance, but also gave students a glimpse into the mechanical and agricultural service industries right here in our community.
A huge thank you to Koenig Equipment for taking the time out of their busy schedule to invest in our students. We truly appreciate your partnership and dedication to supporting local education!

The Anna High School Band recently took their talents on the road, delivering a memorable and magical performance experience at Walt Disney World in Florida.
As part of the trip, students participated in an educational workshop led by professional Disney musicians, gaining valuable insight into performance techniques and musical excellence. The experience culminated in a standout public performance at Disney Springs, where the band showcased their hard work and talent to guests from around the world.
The performance was met with widespread praise from onlookers. Many audience members expressed surprise at the group’s level of skill, with several commenting that they “couldn’t believe this was a high school band.”
“We are incredibly proud of our students for the way they represented our school and community,” said Mr. Suhr. “Their dedication, preparation, and professionalism were evident throughout the entire experience.”
The trip provided students with a unique opportunity to grow as musicians while creating lasting memories in a world-class performance setting.
