Dear Shakamak Families,
The City of Jasonville will be repairing a water main on Tuesday, April 28 beginning at 3:00 PM. As a result, there will be a temporary water shutoff followed by a boil order in effect through Friday, May 1. During this time, regular tap water will not be available for drinking.
The school will provide access to safe drinking water as needed, and drinking fountains will not be in use. We encourage all students to bring a water bottle from home each day to help ensure they stay hydrated. Our team is working to maintain a safe and smooth school day despite these temporary conditions, and we will communicate any additional updates if needed.

Shakamak had two students invited to compete in the Individual Player National Quiz Bowl Tournament. On April 11th, Wade Boyd and Hart Buell traveled to Chicago to compete with 300 of the best Quiz Bowl individuals from across the country. This is the first time that Shakamak has had individuals compete at this level. All questions were from the collegiate level and they were asked 408 questions throughout the day.
We are very proud of their efforts and their representation of Shakamak. Wade finished 175th and Hart finished 253rd. Hart & Wade will return to Chicago next weekend with the rest of the Quiz Bowl Team to compete in the Small School National Quiz Bowl Tournament. For the next tournament, Shakamak is identified as a VSS (Very Small School) and yet we will be there competing with the other schools from across the United States.

Our chemistry students had the opportunity to hear from Elizabeth Patterson from the Battery Innovation Center at WestGate. She shared insights into energy storage, emerging careers in the battery industry, and what the future of this field looks like right here in Indiana.
Even more importantly, she challenged our students to focus on the skills that matter in any career—communication, teamwork, and staying curious.
Experiences like this help our students see what’s possible beyond the classroom. We’re grateful for partners like the Battery Innovation Center for investing in our students and their futures!

Our Shakamak students are taking advantage of dual credit opportunities and earning credentials. They are graduating with a head start that saves families thousands - all while still in high school. These numbers tell a powerful story. In a small district, we're creating big opportunities our students carry with them beyond our walls!
Every year, band students from across Greene County come together for a special musical tradition, the Greene County Band Festival. Hosted at a different school each year, the festival brings together students and directors from all county schools to collaborate on a shared concert experience.
With guidance from a guest conductor from one of Indiana’s respected schools of music, directors select a set of pieces for students to begin preparing months in advance. The festival culminates in a full day of rehearsal, followed by an evening concert featuring this impressive combined ensemble.
For students, performing in such a large group under the direction of a guest conductor is an incredible musical experience. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with fellow musicians from across the county.
And from the audience’s perspective, there’s nothing quite like hearing a massive ensemble made up of students from so many schools performing together. Even better when more than 20 Shakamak students are part of that sound!
