The IGNITE Leadership conference, Friday, September 25. Our FFA chapter had three students attend this event. They partook in leadership workshops and activities. This provided them with many leadership opportunities and learning experiences. Our students enjoyed their time at the conference!

GIRLS GOLF TIME CHANGE!

Due to the forecasted rain, today's girls' golf meet will now start at 1:00 PM.

Good luck, Lady Trojans!

It was a wonderful day for high school cross country at UNK. The boys team ran an outstanding race, finishing second overall right behind the defending state champions, Doniphan-Trumbull, in a massive field of 55 teams in the Class D division. Earning medals for the boys were Sammy Holsing in 3rd, Devon Rasmussen in 13th, Dawson Siems in 14th, and Zane Brandt in 18th. On the girls side, they finished 7th out of 41 teams, with Emma Loxterkamp bringing home a medal in 17th place. Great effort by all of our runners today, as we are so proud of everyone's hard work. We will finish up our regular season this Thursday at Pioneers Park for the Lincoln Lutheran Invitational.

Congratulations to Kollyns Hohensee for earning a 10th place medal at today's SNC Conference Meet @ York Country Club!

Here's what's happening at Tri County this week!

Please note: Dates and times are always subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, be sure to check the Bound calendar, which can be found on the Tri County webpage under Activities.

Rio Homecoming is in the books! These Student Council kids have been working hard since the end of the summer to put this all together! Special thank yous go to: Josi Remmers from Heart Like Mine for allowing us to borrow her beautiful decorations. Jason Arnold from One Man Jam for keeping our students dancing all night with his music! The Blue and Gold Gala for allowing our TC students to attend this dance for free! And lastly to all the Tri County staff for being flexible this week during all the homecoming festivities!

Congratulations to our 2026 Homecoming King and Queen, Owen Lewandowski and Olive Clark! Thankfully the weather held off until right after coronation last night. We tried something new and brought back our King and Queen from 2006, Lucas Buss and Stacey (Parrot) Stohs. 2025 King Ben came back to crown Owen and unfortunately Queen Kennadee was unable to make it back this year. Our crown bearers, Tate Wollenburg and Paisley Oliver did a fantastic job! Thank you to all of the Tri County students, staff, fans, and alumni for such a fantastic week of Homecoming! The dance tonight goes from 7-10. Stay tuned for pictures from that, as the Student Council did a fantastic job of decorating for our theme of Rio!

Happy PTO Appreciation Day to our incredible Tri County PTO! From funding playground equipment and TC pride shirts to providing track and field day ribbons, field trip support, and year-round teacher treats, our PTO works tirelessly to support our school, staff, and students.

We are so grateful for the countless ways they show up for TC, but they can’t do it alone! They are always looking for extra hands. Whether you can offer a simple donation or just an hour or two to help support an event, every bit makes a massive difference for our kids.

Want to get involved? Send an email to TriCountyPTO@gmail.com to see how you can lend a hand and help support our school community! 💙💛

With rain in the forecast, we will use the following plan for tonight’s Homecoming candidate introductions & coronation. We’ll make a game-time decision based on the weather.

If rain prevents the queen candidates from being introduced at halftime, the King & Queen candidate introductions will be combined with the coronation ceremony. If it is still raining at the end of the game we will move the coronation into the high school auditorium immediately following the football game.

We’ll keep everyone updated as we know more. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding!

We want to share a brief reminder following reports of concerning phone calls involving families at some school districts in communities across Nebraska. While we don't want to cause alarm, we do want our families to be aware and know what to do if they receive an unexpected call regarding their child or a situation at school.

If you ever receive a phone call that you are unsure about or that seems unusual, please hang up and contact the school directly using our published phone number (402) 683-2015 to verify the information. Taking a moment to confirm that a message truly came from the school can help prevent confusion and ensure you have accurate information.

We will continue to communicate directly with families when there is important information regarding our students or school. When in doubt, please reach out to us, we are always happy to verify a call or message.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us keep our school community informed and safe.

6th Grade Social Studies classes have been learning all about Cave Art and Investigating the Past in their Ancient Civilizations class. They practiced thinking like an archaeologist to explore the "Cave" in the auditorium to learn about cave art, prehistoric tools, and artifacts.
