Tri County Public Schools

Six Tri County FBLA members had the opportunity to attend the FBLA National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California last week! From competing in their events and attending dynamic workshops to networking with students from across the country, our students made the most of every opportunity. In between sessions, they also had the chance to explore Disneyland, catch an Angels baseball game, and visit Huntington Beach. To top off the week TC FBLA Chapter President Meila Gronemeyer placed 10th in Public Speaking! We’re proud of the way they represented Tri County on the national stage. Great job Trojans!

Happy July to all parents & guardians of incoming TC students!

Our girls basketball team was invited to the Nebraska Top 10 Summer Showcase the past two days. Over the two days the girls faced many teams that were state tournament qualifiers in 2025, losing to Oakland-Craig (C2 champion) by 8 points. These girls were given the fifth seed in the gold division. They fell to a very good #1 Alma team in the semi final match. The girls finished 4-2 with so much progress made over these two days! #earnit
