During the meeting, coaches Paul Grosskert and Kobe Morrison presented two students, Mason Ivy and Helen Christensen, who were named second team all-state recipients in archery. Grosskert praised Ivy for his dedication, noting that he consistently arrives early to help set up the gym for practices, demonstrating leadership and commitment to the team. Ivy finished in the top 15% at the state competition. Christensen was also commended for her hard work, as she stayed late after practices to assist with cleanup, contributing to the team's success. She ranked in the top 18% at the state level.

Arnold was selected through a nomination process involving her colleagues, who highlighted her leadership, innovative teaching methods, and dedication to student success. Colleagues noted her ability to create a supportive environment and her effective strategies for engaging students, including a creative "Alice in Wonderland" themed lesson. A student echoed these sentiments, stating that Arnold is loved for her caring nature and positive attitude.

The recognition of both the student athletes and the exemplary teacher underscores the district's commitment to fostering talent and supporting educational excellence. The board expressed pride in these achievements and the positive impact they have on the community.
