18 Years Ago in Cadet History…
The 2007-2008 school year theme was “Our Time Now!”
From everyday moments, to getting involved in clubs and activities, to clocking in at after-school jobs, and sharing thoughts in What’s on the Minds of the Cadets, this theme celebrated making the most of every moment!

87 Years Ago in Cadet History…
Marching On!
From the laughs and drama of the Junior Play, Headed for Eden, and the Senior Play, The Late Christopher Bean, to the grit of football season and the fun of Freshman Day, this theme captured the determination and school spirit of the 1938-1939 school year.
Even in challenging times, students kept moving forward together, with pride and purpose.

This morning, our 4th graders joined area schools along with several Nebraska organizations for a ‘Walk through the Woods’ at Wilderness Park in West Point! 🌲
They explored local wildlife and enjoyed hands-on activities, learning about nature up close!

Last week, our 5th graders put their creativity to the test by making camouflaged butterflies and hiding them around the science room! 🦋🔍
Mr. Lewis & Mrs. Hatterman’s kindergarteners then went on a butterfly hunt to see how many they could spot. A fun mix of science, art, and discovery!

57 Years Ago in Cadet History…
The 1968-1969 school year was a year of “Discovery!”
This theme reflected the adventurous spirit of the late ’60s. With the moon landing on the horizon, youth culture booming, and new opportunities in academics, athletics, and the arts, students were encouraged to explore, grow, and look toward the future with curiosity and optimism.
