What happens when students from multiple schools come together to make music?

They challenge themselves, build new friendships, grow as musicians, and experience the joy of making music together.

Our Bass Camp brings students in grades 5–12 together to strengthen their skills, perform music written just for double bass ensemble, and learn alongside peers from across our district. It's one of the many unique opportunities that help students explore their interests, build confidence, and deepen their love of music.

Tomorrow, they'll take the stage for the Bass Camp Ensemble Concert, sharing everything they've worked on.

🎻 Thursday, July 23
🕚 11:00 a.m.
📍 La Crosse Central High School, second-floor band room

The concert is free and open to the public. Join us in celebrating these talented students and the educators who make opportunities like this possible.

Experience the incredible talent of our students in Hadestown: Teen Edition, on stage this weekend at the Weber Center. 🎭

Some classrooms have four walls. This one stretched across Spain.

Over 12 days, our La Crosse Central High School Spanish students followed aqueducts through Segovia, wandered the halls of castles, cathedrals, palaces, and monasteries, explored the winding streets of Madrid, Toledo, Sevilla, and Granada, and stood in places they had previously only seen in textbooks.

They shared meals and daily life with host families, practiced Spanish in real conversations, experienced music, food, art, and traditions firsthand, and discovered what it means to be welcomed into another community. Every stop offered a new story, a new perspective, and a new connection.

The memories are incredible. The learning is lasting.

Thank you to our students for embracing this adventure, our staff for leading the journey, our host families in Spain for opening their homes and sharing their culture, and our families here in La Crosse for the trust they place in us to help their kids experience opportunities like this. Together, you made this unforgettable journey possible.

What a year for the La Crosse Central High School Track Hawks! 🏁🏆

In their very first season in the Build Moto Mentor Program - a hands-on program that helps students build trade and life skills through motorcycle fabrication - six Central students took on an incredible challenge: transforming a Harley-Davidson X350 into a competitive flat-track race bike while spending months in the shop turning ideas into reality, solving problems together, managing a budget, documenting their work, and seeing firsthand what it takes to bring a project from concept to competition.

The results speak for themselves:

🏍️ 1st place in the Dyno Competition for gaining the most horsepower from stock
🏍️ 1st place in their heat races
🏍️ 3rd place in the main event
🏍️ 1st place in the Brewtown Rumble Mechanics Competition
🏍️ Overall winners of the 2026 BUILD Moto Cup

The experience connected students with skilled mentors, local businesses, and industry professionals who shared their time, talents, and passion. These unique opportunities help students discover new interests, build confidence, and see what’s possible for their future.

A huge thank you to teacher Doug Dammen for leading the team, mentors Aaron Nicks and Matt Schmidt for the countless hours invested in our students, Tony Ciano for teaching students wrap skills to make the bike look awesome, and Ethan and Dave Ebben for racing the bike at the Beaver Cycle Club.

We’re also grateful to Driftless AMCA, S&S Cycle, Inc., Independent Cycle and ATV, Powersports Tuning Specialist, AMCustom LLC, and Great River Harley-Davidson for supporting this inaugural season.

Congratulations to the Track Hawks on an unforgettable rookie year!
