Collaboration at its finest: The FCS culinary skills class prepared tomatillo salsa verde using tomatillos and cilantro grown and harvested by the botany class. The salsa was a hit!
Our second-grade class is officially published!
Students worked hard through the writing process to create their class book, “Chloe’s Big Brave Adventure.” From brainstorming and drafting to revising and publishing, they showed great effort every step of the way. They also illustrated the story with their own creative drawings, bringing Chloe’s adventure to life. They are so proud of their book!

A HUGE thank you to our area community members who shared their knowledge at Family STEM Night last night! @LeoKallhoff of the @NebraskaGameandParksCommission taught us about the night sky. Jared Daily of @MPCCedu taught us about astronomy and shared his amazing telescopes — if only the weather had cooperated so we could view the night sky! @AnnaBaum of @UpperLoupNaturalResourcesDistrict taught us engineering by helping us build paper rockets. Our own @EmilyStichka and @StaceyVinton also showed us engineering by helping us create leprechaun traps! THANK YOU for helping make our night educational and fun!
Thank you to our friends at @WildlifeEncounters for their fun visit at Family STEM Night and to @ShelbyRidenour for making it happen!
We had another fun-filled Family STEM Night last night as elementary students and their families explored all things Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Thank you to all who came and learned right alongside each other. We already can't wait for next year. Our final STEM Club for this school year will be held on April 14 at 320pm.
State Speech apparel is in! Please stop in the high school office to pick it up today!

6 students represented Mullen today at the Battle of the Books in Sutherland! These students qualified by reading four Honeybee or Meadowlark Golden Sower nominees for the 2025-2026 school year. They visited with author Rebecca Stead, partipated in stations (STEM ozobots and straw launchers, reverse charades, and a photo scavenger hunt), and ulimately competed for the title of "Battle of the Books" champion! While we did not come out as champions, our small but mighty crew did great and we are so proud of these students for particpating in this event for the first time!

We are very proud of the Broncos and cannot wait to finish the season strong!
These Sophomores had a big week! On Tuesday, they traveled to MPCC to Connecting the Dots! They listened to a variety of career experts and completed a career simulation that helped them connect the dots from high school through postsecondary education and training to the workplace.
On Wednesday, they participated in the second session of Sandhills Leadership! They completed the Clifton Strengths Assessment before attending and were able to use these to explore their leadership and skills for ideas to help our community. It was a great morning of collaboration and learning!
