Building Bridges Across Generations
This semester, our students have had the privilege of visiting the De Witt Community Center once a month to serve lunch and enjoy fellowship with the members of the De Witt Senior Center.
From sharing stories to serving meals, our students are learning the true value of community. A huge shoutout to the members of our FFA, FBLA, and National Honor Society (NHS) for leading the way with such kind hearts and helping hands!

Today we celebrate Mrs. Katz, our school librarian, and Mrs. Hicks, our library paraprofessional, a great team who make our library such a special place at Tri County! From fun reading challenges and creative lessons to the best book displays that get students excited about reading, they work together to create a welcoming space where students can explore, learn, and grow.
Thank you both for the energy, creativity, and care you bring to our students every day. We appreciate all you do!
Keyton Reck launched himself to lifetime-best mark of 20-09.00 in the long jump, good for #9 all time in school history. Congrats Keyton!
