17 middle and high school HOSA students spent the last two days at the HOSA State Leadership Conference in Grand Forks.
Students competed in a variety of events while also exploring health care careers through hands-on experiences. They practiced suturing, listened to heart and lung sounds, palpated pulses on simulators, used a simulated ultrasound machine, and created realistic fake wounds (called moulage) used in medical training. They also attended workshops on nutrition, nursing careers, and forensics, and more! They spoke with professionals in various health care fields, and explored many pathways to health careers offered by colleges and universities across North Dakota.
We are excited to recognize the following accomplishments: ⭐ Middle School Highlights • Foundations of Medical Terminology – Clara Olafson (2nd) and Brystol Homstad (3rd) • Health Education – Clara Olafson, Mia Seng, and Ellie Peterson - 1st place with their Hands-Only CPR & AED project • Health Career Display – Vaya Morrison (2nd) • Life-Threatening Situations – Lincoln Thompson (1st) and Halle Olafson (2nd)
⭐ High School Highlights • Forensic Science – Fletcher Kemp and Max Ditterick (Top 10) • Nurse Assistant – Charlotte Crowston (Top 10) • Health Care Administration – Haley Briese (Top 10) • Human Growth and Development – Delaney Denault (Top 10) • Health Education – Bryelle Benevides, Charlotte Crowston, and Audriey Longtine with their handwashing education project - 2nd place!
Congratulations to all participants for their hard work and for representing our school so well!

Day 2 on Close Up. The seniors had a busy day yesterday. They started on Capitol Hill discussing Opposition vs. Compromise and had the opportunity to witness a couple of protests march through. Then the students visited some of the major monuments on the Mall like the MLK, the Jefferson, and the FDR. Meanwhile, the teachers spent the day studying the Civil War and learning at the Museum of the U.S. Army. The students ended the day discussing big issues such as college affordability, homelessness, and gun violence with their peers from around the country trying to develop policy solutions that focus on compromise rather than entrenchment. Amazing day of learning and relationships. Stay tuned...

The 2025-2026 Cavalier Middle School Battle of the Books season has just finished.
This year we had 15 students participate. Teams read 12 books and became experts on their contents.
On March 13, three teams competed in the local competition. The champions, Bound by Books, and runner-ups, Vivid Voyagers, advanced to the regional competition.
The regional competition was held virtually on March 23 with the winner advancing to a state competition in April. Our students competed against teams from Wilton and Jamestown. The results were 1st - Jamestown, 2nd - Bound by Books, 3rd - Vivid Voyagers.
Congratulations to all Battle of the Books participants for their commitment to reading!

Day 1 of the class of 2026’s Close Up trip to Washington, D.C. After a smooth travel day on Saturday, the students started the day at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, contemplating the horrific actions of the Nazis during WWII. Then it was off to the National Archives, where the kids took advantage of the local food truck scene for lunch on the steps of the Archives on a beautiful spring day. Then it was inside to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It is pretty amazing to think that last week the seniors read these documents during the civics assembly, and today they viewed the original documents that created our great nation. The final stop of the day was at the National Air and Space Museum to learn about aviation history. Stay tuned for updates, as the students are now in the Close Up program and have started working on the tough issues of the day with their peers from around the country.

Recently our sophomore class had an amazing opportunity to attend Scrubs Camp at Pembina County Memorial Hospital and explore a wide variety of health care careers! 🩺
Along with other 10th grade students from across the county, they participated in hands-on sessions with professionals in areas such as nursing, mid-level providers, flight nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, public health, ambulance services, lab, dietary, pharmacy, and more.
Students were able to try real skills like starting IVs, suturing a wound, inserting a breathing tube with a video-guided camera on a manikin, and even testing their own blood type.
Thank you to the staff at Pembina County Memorial Hospital and all the professionals who shared their time and expertise with our students!

The assembly began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the senior class reciting the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the United States Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address.

Thank you Randy & Cindy Miller of Miller's Greenhouse for hosting our botany and middle school ag classes! Students were able to get an overview of the plant starting process in a greenhouse in the spring and as a bonus, were able help plant. We can't wait to use the information in our own greenhouse!

Cavalier agriculture students enjoyed a tour of the state of the art facilities at North Dakota State University and NDSU College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources. Students began their tour with a visit of the meat lab and food science labs at the Peltier Complex. This was fitting as intro to ag students will begin their meats unit. Next was a tour of the AES Research Greenhouse. Botany students were able to see large scale plant sciences research and plant breeding in action. Students then ate lunch on campus with the college students. Lastly, students visited the Beef Cattle Research Complex. Students were able to interact with the research subjects (yearling bulls) and operate high end animal handling equipment.
