The fall scenery, so many fans cheering on every athlete, the hard work and dedication of each athlete and the camaraderie makes the state XC meet so fun and memorable to attend. We couldn't be prouder of our Cardinals, Abbie and Natalie, for their season and how they showed up to represent in the race. Thank you to our runners, the team and our coaches! Can't wait for next year! Superintendent Notz

Winter sports are almost here! 🏀🤼‍♂️🏊🎳

We have 30+ home athletic events this winter, and a Bound Pass is the best way to get in on all of them. Your pass is good all year long, covering winter, spring, and summer activities.

Here’s the math:

Individual tickets: $7 per game. Going to 30 games adds up to $210.
Adult Activity Pass: $120. It pays for itself in under 18 games, and you still get spring and summer events for free.
Family Pass: $250. A family of four pays $28 at the gate each night, so this pass covers itself in about 9 games.

🎟️ Get your Bound Pass: https://www.gobound.com/ia/schools/maquoketa/tickets

Can’t make it to a game? You can still cheer on the Cardinals from home with a Hudl Livestream Pass.

📺 Hudl Livestream: https://fan.hudl.com/usa/ia/maquoketa/organization/4135/maquoketa-high-school

Our Maquoketa High School students have been stepping back in time!

After researching and creating their own newspaper articles detailing major historical events and their impact, students participated in an interactive Gallery Walk today.

Working with partners, students explored their peers' work, discovered fascinating historical facts, made connections to their current learning, and reflected on the moments in history that impacted them the most.

🌟 Huge shout-out to Mrs. Felderman for creating such a creative and hands-on learning experience, and a big shout-out to our MHS students for diving in with high energy, thoughtful insights, and fantastic engagement! 👏✨
