This is the second highest amount of awards received by any school.

Amazing work, Brookwood theater!

Congratulations to all of the band students who participated in the annual
district honors band concert on Monday. The bands consist of some of the best students from 8 area schools, including Westby, Viroqua, and Kickapoo. We had 5 junior high students and 9 high school students selected to perform in the ensembles Monday, Nov. 18th. Way to go Falcons!

Students, Mr. Anderson has noticed a lot of high school students driving up the wrong way. Remember, the lane that's closest to the construction fence is a "one-way" lane


I was asked to make a friendly reminder to not cut in between the buses. This is a request by the bus drivers and the Transportation Director. It's the least we could do to help them out.

Students and staff, we have two elementary teachers who are fighting cancer. Mrs. Pam Harris is fighting Breast Cancer and Mrs. Gabby Nevsimal is fighting Thyroid Cancer. We want them to know that we support them. If you would like to show your support by purchasing a "Fight Like a Falcon" bracelet for $1, they're available in the office. Proceeds will go directly to Pam and Gabby.
