CONGRATULATIONS FOR EARNING GOLD AT THE HIGHLAND MARCHING FESTIVAL!!
GOLD! The kids earned a gold at the Highland Marching Festival!
They did a fantastic job. We were really proud of their hard work this week in rehearsals and it showed in tonight's performance. Their final contest performance of the season will be on Saturday 10/1 at 2:48pm at Crown Point HS.
NWI.Life Spotlights Our Brickie!
Most people know Gamaliel Cruz III by Gambo.
Last year (sophomore year) Cruz was elected as president of his Junior Class for the year.
Being in the student council, Cruz helps make major decisions for the school, especially, the junior class. He helps make decisions for homecoming and prom. The student council also hopes to add a ‘Fall-Fest’ to the mix of events.
He is in football, social with his friends, and is also running for homecoming prince!
Cruz also does very well in school and has a 4.3 GPA.
If you were to ask anyone in our school, they would probably say that Cruz is one of the nicest kids you have ever met. He makes everyone laugh and feel comfortable no matter the situation. This is helpful for days like the first day of school when everyone is nervous and uncomfortable.
Even Bartsch said that when he enters the room the energy of everyone is lifted.
Cruz is involved in many activities but does a great job of balancing his school, football, and personal life.
“My advice for students to be successful would be to have really good time management, especially if you are a student-athlete," he said.

Boys Soccer Team Learns A Life Lesson From Coaches!
Many take it for granted, but if you ask - teenage boys don't know how to tie a tie! It is an important life lesson and though it may not be needed every day, there are always moments in life when it is necessary and appropriate. Thanks to our Hobart High School Soccer Coaches, the entire team learned and will never forget how to do this task. Plus, what great timing with the Homecoming dance this weekend! We expect to see several well-tied ties at the event and know that these young men appreciate the guidance they have from their coaches. Thanks for all you do!
IT WAS A GREAT WEEK OF ACTIVITIES GEARING UP FOR FRIDAY'S HOMECOMING GAME!!
