A group of our students recently visited Indiana State University to explore the opportunity to participate in the StartEd Up West Central competition next year. This experience introduces students to the world of entrepreneurship. Students learn how to identify a problem, develop a solution, and bring it to life. (It reminds me of Shark Tank, for high schoolers.)
And yes, no trip is complete without a stop for some good food!
Excited to see where this group takes it next.

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.

Mark your calendars: The last day for the after school program Reach: 4/30/26.
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!
