High School Autos students are trying something new this year. Autos 3 adds "business sense" to the curriculum, offering students the chance to learn more about what it takes to run a successful shop. Students are providing auto detailing to interested staff for $30. Students manage the business, handling all email requests, scheduling, doing the work, and keeping track of supplies that need to be ordered.

Congratulations to Hannah Wirtz (10th grade) and Logen Schedlbauer (11th)! They were recognized this week as the 5th and 6th NBAHS students to complete the Ford ACE program.

Representatives of Anderson Koch Ford, Ford corporate, school staff, and family were on hand to celebrate Hannah and Logen's accomplishment. Ford presented each with a DeWalt impact wrench and noted that NBAHS has had more students complete the ACE program than any school in the region and, perhaps, the entire midwest.

SKOL! to these enterprising Vikings!

On September 21, members of the North Branch FFA volunteered at the Almelund Apple Festival running Kid’s Corner with the Carlsted Family. Members helped kids “doing to learn” about the traditions of our rural ancestors by shelling and milling corn, washing clothing, woodcarving, stamping leather, and grinding and making play sausage. FFA is an intracurricular activity at NBAHS which focuses on building leadership through service and agriculture education.
