If you are unable to attend the event in person, you are invited to watch the live stream at https://youtu.be/ivsn9g0njs0. Thank you, Justin Strand, for recording the ceremony. Go Tigers!

We are excited to share that Starr Elementary has been recognized as a Model Professional Learning Community (PLC) at Work® school, by Solution Tree, a world-wide education company that empowers educators to raise student achievement! This prestigious honor is held by only four elementary schools in Wisconsin and just 111 schools nationwide, making it a truly extraordinary achievement for Starr and our entire district. 

This recognition celebrates Starr Elementary’s dedication to collaboration, shared leadership, and a relentless focus on student learning - principles that align with our district-wide Strategic Plan of Growth For All. Starr’s culture of teamwork, trust, and high expectations serves as a shining example of how prioritizing students and embracing continuous improvement leads to exceptional outcomes.

While this award specifically honors Starr Elementary, it also reflects the collective efforts across all SDNR schools. By working together under the shared vision of our Strategic Plan, we are building a foundation for success that supports excellence in every classroom, for every student, every day.

Please join us in congratulating Starr Elementary on this incredible accomplishment and celebrating the impact of our shared commitment to the fearless pursuit of excellence through the School District of New Richmond. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey to success.

New Richmond High School is pleased to invite all students and families to the 2025-26 Athletic Code Meeting, which will be held on Monday, June 2nd, at 6:00 PM in the NRHS Auditorium.

Exciting news from the NRHS Ag Room:

Breanna and Eli filled out scholarship applications for the FFA Washington Leadership Conference (WLC). Eli was selected as a recipient and will attend this premier summer gathering in D.C. for agricultural student leaders. WLC inspires FFA members to become changemakers in their schools and communities. Each day of the conference focuses on a different principle taught through the context of our nation's capital. These principles include exploration, encouragement, advocacy, and service. At the end of our week there, he will leave with a Living to Serve Plan he can implement back here!

Agriscience Instructor Rachel Sauvola hasn't taken students to D.C. in more than 20 years!

Eli also just completed his State FFA Degree. This is the top degree you can earn at the state level and is usually accomplished senior year or after you graduate from high school. Eli set the goal to get it his junior year and worked very hard on the 17-page application highlighting his Supervised Agricultural Experience project details, financials, community service, skills and competencies learned, and a whole lot more. Ultimately, he has taken 360 hours of Agriscience courses, worked more than 600 hours, and earned/productively invested $2000 in his SAE projects.

There have only been a handful of other NR students who have earned this degree when they were a junior. He will be awarded this honor at the Wisconsin State FFA Convention in June. As a point of reference, our last recipient was Rose, who is presently finishing her student teaching for Agricultural Education in Clear Lake.

NRHS student, Lorna, earned 3rd place in the VFW Auxiliary State of Wisconsin Young American Patriotic Art Contest!

Lorna's talent and creativity stood out in her amazing piece of art. She will be honored at the State Convention this June in Middleton, WI. Way to go, Lorna!

Congratulations to NRHS Student Aubrey for receiving an honorable mention for her painting that was on display at the Phipps High School Art Exhibit!

The NRHS Drama Club and Chess Club will each receive a $500 donation from the School Grounds Bakery and Coffee Shop. School Grounds has donated $9,000 this school year and a total of $37,000 since the 2021-2022 school year! Thank you for supporting the School Grounds Bakery and Coffee Shop.

In May, the Wisconsin Secretary of Agriculture, Randy Romanski, toured the SOAR Center and joined Paperjack 1st Graders on a farm visit!

This special visit was made in recognition of the incredible work happening in our agriculture programs. We are proud to showcase the hands-on learning experiences that make the School District of New Richmond so special.

Thank you, Secretary Romanski, for spending the afternoon with our students and staff!

From regional research to menu development, pricing, and production—our Advanced Culinary Arts students did it all. Through Gourmet to Go, they sharpened their culinary skills and learned how to run a small business. We’re proud of their growth and grateful to all who supported them along the way!

Congratulations to our NRHS students who plan to compete in college athletics! You have inspired our entire school community and shown what it means to pursue excellence every day. Way to go, Tigers!

The goal of the study is to learn more about how school nutrition programs are cooking food from scratch and utilizing fresh food in school meals. Our district was one of 36 in the entire U.S. selected for this research, and one of only 12 who had in-person visits! We love sharing the amazing work that our School Nutrition Professionals do every school day!
