News From the NRHS Ag Department!
Exciting news from the NRHS Ag Room: Breanna and Eli filled out scholarship applications for the FFA
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.

We are excited to announce that after months of thoughtful planning and collaboration with many dedicated individuals around the district, the construction phase of our facilities referendum is set to begin in the summer of 2025. Countless staff members, community members, and experts contributed to designing a plan that will greatly enhance our district’s learning environments. As we move forward, we will continue to keep you informed by providing updates on our district website, ensuring that you stay connected to the progress every step of the way.
In order to prioritize student learning and include additional summer construction days, the School District of New Richmond has developed a 2-year school calendar to help staff and families plan ahead for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. This 2-year school calendar was approved by the SDNR Board of Education on Monday, November 18, 2024.
By sharing the calendars well in advance, we hope to provide ample time for everyone to make any necessary arrangements. These calendars are now available on ourdistrict website, and I encourage you to review them as there are adjustments compared to previous years.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation as we move forward with these important projects. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Principal for a Day - Briley!
Starr Elementary was in great hands as Briley stepped into the role of Principal for a Day — and he did it like a true star! From morning announcements to classroom rounds, Briley led with confidence, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to making Starr Famous for Learning.
He handed out Tiger Tickets, evaluated teachers like a pro, treated students to Jolly Ranchers, and even enjoyed a McDonald’s lunch with our leadership team. All day long, he encouraged high levels of learning and fun, bringing energy and joy to every corner of the building.
Wearing his favorite sports gear, Briley reminded us that leadership comes in all sizes—and that when students lead, incredible things happen.
We are so proud of Principal Briley and grateful for the way he helped Starr shine even brighter!
