The NHS-sponsored blood drive at the HS was very successful today! Students, staff, and community members donated a total of 32 units of whole blood and four double red donations. Thanks to all who donated, all the student volunteers, and to Versiti for helping the day go smoothly. We are looking forward to increasing our goal for the next blood drive and helping even more!

Congratulations to our extremely involved Buck of the Week, Caleb Gepford!


This week is America's Safe Schools Week! Today, I want to focus on some other vital employee training held in our district. Many of our employees and coaches have been trained in First Aid, AED and CPR. Most of these specialized trainings that employees receive are completed after their work days. I thank all of our employees for going above and beyond to keep our students and employees safe. Our students are our priority and our future! Go Bucks!

Please make plans to join as a community for our Pink Out 2023 on Tuesday, October 24th. Let's fill the bleachers to support those that have fought or are currently battling cancer.
Together we fight!


This week is America's Safe Schools Week so each day I want to highlight something we do to promote safe schools. Today I want to focus on special training employees receive regarding student mental health and safety. Multiple employees have received training on Behavior Threat Assessment and Management. This week multiple employees also received crisis training from Michael's Place. Both of these trainings are essential in helping us identify needs and solutions to assist our students and staff. Our students are our priority and our future! Go Bucks!

Congratulations to the newest members of our Pine River National Honor Society! These 24 inductees are joining our 20 current members to help do great things in our school and community.



This week is America's Safe Schools Week! So each day I want to focus on a different aspect of school safety. Each year we are required to perform a variety of drills to prepare ourselves for events we hope will never happen and we are required to report our drills to the Michigan Department of Education. Those drills include fire drills, tornado drills, and lockdown drills. We take them very seriously because our students are our priority and future! Go Bucks!

Congratulations to the boys XC team on their Highland Conference CHAMPIONSHIP!! 6 of the top 9 runners were our Bucks, what a TEAM effort!!


#EveryDayCounts! Students who miss school, miss out!
Did you know… Missing just 2 days of school a month hurts learning, lowers grades & decreases your student’s chances of earning a diploma. #StriveforLessThan5 #Schooleveryday #StriveforLessThan5 days absent this school year!


This week is America's Safe Schools Week. So each day I want to share a quick bit of information on how we all work together for school safety. In the fall of 2022, we had our state security assessment completed. Since then, we are working behind the scenes to improve safety even more. Additional security cameras, doors and hand radios are just some of the ways we are working to improve school safety. Our students are our priority and future! Go Bucks!

Yesterday was the beginning of America's Safe Schools Week and so I want to thank our School Resource Officer (SRO) Shane Helmer for everything he does to support our students! Thank you Officer Helmer!!

Congratulations to Avrie Verdi, our Buck of the Week!

Suicide Awareness and Prevention for Caregivers and Communities


One, Two, Three, Four… we declare a COIN WAR!
Coin Wars for Christmas
Jars for each grade level, 8th-12th, will be set up in the HS hallway before school and during PT conferences. Coins add points, bills subtract points, and rolled coins count as double points! All money raised will be used for the Adopt-A-Family Christmas Project. The winning grade will receive a prize. Be strategic in helping your grade earn points while keeping the other grades from winning! Let’s all work to make the holidays better for those in our communities that need some help.
