New Glarus High School Students and Staff In The Music Man! New Glarus High School Students and Staff In The Music Man!

Prior to spring break, New Glarus High School students and staff put on a performance of The Music Man. This was the first musical at New Glarus High School since the spring of 2019 and the show was absolutely fabulous. Students performed in front of sold out crowds and they did not disappoint. Congratulations to all performers on a job well done! We look forward to next year's production!

Great job Glarner Knights!

Basketball Teams Qualify For Sectionals!

The last couple of weeks of February and the first weeks of March were busy with high school basketball! Both the Boys and the Girls teams made deep runs in the tournament series before eventually losing before State. The Girls, who were Capitol Conference South Champions, were eventually defeated at the Sectional Final game by Mineral Point. The Boys defeated arch-rival Belleville in the Regional Final game and were nudged out of the tournament by Marshall in the Sectional Semi-Final game. Congratulations to both teams and thanks for the memories!

New Glarus High School Students Excel At Capitol Conference Solo and Ensemble Competition

In late February, the Capitol Conference Solo and Ensemble Competition was held at New Glarus High School. On our home turf, New Glarus Middle and High School students thrived. Overall, New Glarus students made up over 25% of the entries in the six team competition. Of those entries, 25 events and approximately 70 students qualified for the Wisconsin State Solo and Ensemble Competition in April. Congratulations to all participants and to Ms. Doefer, Mr. Schulz, and Mrs. Setterstrom on a great competition! Also, thank you to all volunteers who helped with the festival. Pictured below are our State qualifiers (photos courtesy of Kris Anderson).

Thoughts From 4114 Knight Pride Way by Dr. Jeff Eichelkraut, Principal, New Glarus High School

Knight Pride! There was an overwhelming feeling of Knight Pride when putting together this newsletter. As requested by the parents several years ago, I have used monthly emails to communicate important events happening at New Glarus High School and I put together a newsletter once every trimester to celebrate the events of the past trimester. I have used this system of communication for several years and I don't remember a time where I felt more Knight Pride than when assembling this latest issue.


There are so many awesome things happening at New Glarus High School and frankly, there were things that were not included in this newsletter that probably should have been added. However, to include everything that is going on would create a newsletter that is longer than most people's attention span. In short, there are many phenomenal things going on every day in the classroom, in the band room and auditorium, in the labs, and on the athletic field or court. Our students and staff not only achieve, but also give back to others in our community on a regular basis.


To catch a regular glimpse of what is going on at New Glarus High School, I strongly encourage you to visit our blog at newglarushighschool.blogspot.com or to follow us on Twitter or Facebook. I am both proud and thankful for our students and staff and to be a part of such an amazing place. I look forward to the continued success of our students and teachers and wrapping up the 2021-2022 school year on a positive note!


Have a great Trimester 3!
