Over the past two weeks, Teutopolis High School students and staff came together to recognize and honor the veterans who have served our country. Students and staff submitted the names of veterans they wished to honor, resulting in 44 veterans being recognized. Their pictures and short biographies were displayed in the school hallway as a special tribute to their service and sacrifice.
Two veterans were randomly selected to receive special gifts. Robin Adams received a beautiful American flag blanket handmade by Teri Allen of Pittsfield, Illinois, sister of staff member Kathy Batley. Brent Weber received a stunning 3D artwork featuring a soaring bald eagle and the American flag. This one-of-a-kind piece was created by the THS Construction Class using a cutting board, precision CNC engraving, hand-painting, and a protective finish.
Students also proudly placed American flags throughout the school grounds. The flags were generously loaned to the high school by Teutopolis American Legion Post 924.
We are proud of our students and staff for showing their appreciation and gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our nation. Thank you to all our veterans for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice. We honor you today and every day!

It was a fantastic learning experience from start to finish. Beyond putting their engineering skills to the test, our students had the opportunity to network with college engineering representatives and connect with peers from other area schools.
We are so proud of their hard work. 190 students from 17 southern Illinois high schools completed Thursday in the Robinson. Our students placed 8th place overall in the catapult.

These gentlemen were the first to receive responses! It’s exciting for students to see how the skills they learn in the classroom can lead to real-world connections. A special thank you to the companies that took the time to respond to our students!

Students designed, built, and tested their bridges, with the winning bridge holding nearly 500 pounds! Even more impressive, THREE bridges held over 300 pounds!
We ended the unit with a special guest speaker, Kurt Haarman from Howell Paving, who helped connect what students learned in the classroom to real-world engineering.
We are proud of our students' hard work, creativity, and problem-solving skills!
A big THANK YOU to Kurt Haarman for taking the time to speak with our students!
