Good evening! This is Deborah Philpot Unit 50 Interim Superintendent. I wanted to let you know that we have received concerns of a potential threat brought to the administration’s attention. Earlier today at Teutopolis High School a school resource officer was brought in to assist in interviewing students to determine any actions the district should take and if there was a credible threat. After a thorough investigation process including input from the resource officer we did not determine any evidence that a credible threat existed. However the district will continue to be on alert to ensure the safety of all students.

Students in Mrs. Jansen's class had fun with a Halloween science project. After trying many different potions, they discovered that baking soda and vinegar were the 2 that made the potion bubble and overflow in the glass. The children also discovered the power of "Yet". They kept trying until they figured out what substance/liquid would work.

On Friday Mrs. Yager’s class enjoyed pumpkin science!


Teutopolis boys & girls gave the sectional a good fight today but came up short. The girls placed 13th out of 34 & the boys placed 18th out of 35. Tons of competition as this is one of the toughest sectionals in the state. So proud of our runners & congrats to an awesome season!
