District 6 Girls District Tournament Lady Raiders will take on the Bishop Ryan Lions on Feb 10th at 5 pm at the Minot Auditorium for the District Play in game.

At the beginning of the school year, five students applied for a new FFA jacket through the Blue Jackets, Bright Futures program through the ND FFA Foundation. Four of the six students were awarded a jacket. They were notified in December of their awards. Their jackets have finally arrived and they are very excited to put them to good use! They will wear their jackets to the several conferences and competitions that will take place throughout their time in FFA. This is an outstanding group of students, and we are excited to see where their blue jacket will take them!
