Last week was Volleyball Officials Appreciation Week. We celebrated and thanked volleyball officials who help make the game possible! Their time, dedication, and commitment to fairness allow our athletes to compete, grow, and enjoy the sport.

Thank you to each official who serves with integrity and passion. We appreciate you!

Our high school art students had a special treat last week. Naomi Ullum, retired Central Christian College of Kansas art instructor, taught them about how oil paints are made, shared tips and techniques, and guided students as they practiced with the medium themselves.

We’re so grateful for her time and expertise. What an inspiring hands-on learning experience!

Meet Our Stewardship Dinner Speaker Dan Meers!

For 35 years, Dan Meers went to work like many other men, dressed in a suit. The only difference? His suit had a tail. 🐺

As the beloved KC Wolf, Dan brought joy, laughter, and inspiration to millions of fans around the world. From his early days as Truman the Tiger at Mizzou to his long career with the Kansas City Chiefs, Dan has embodied heart, humor, and hard work.

Behind the costume is a man of deep faith and purpose. After surviving a life-changing stunt accident in 2013, Dan turned his story into one of hope and resilience, sharing a message that reminds us that “God didn’t put us on this earth to make a living… He put us here to make an impact.”

We are honored to welcome Dan Meers, speaker, author, and the man behind KC Wolf, to our annual Stewardship Dinner. His story will make you laugh, think, and leave inspired to live with greater purpose.

📅 Save the Date: Saturday, November 15
📍 Location: Central Christian School, 1910 E. 30th Ave., Hutchinson

Winner
Today, we had the honor of presenting our 2025 boys golf team with their well-deserved state championship rings!

For the second time in school history, the Cougars clinched the KSHSAA Class 1A State Golf Title with a two-day total of 633 at Mariah Hills Golf Course in Dodge City. Their dedication and teamwork led them to outperform the two-time defending champions by 17 strokes.

Most of this incredible team has graduated, but two of our talented golfers are still here and looking forward to defending their state title this upcoming season.

Congratulations to our golf team and coaches!
