Food Drive FCCLA Challenge - SCC vs ESC. Please bring non-perishable food items to the basketball game on Tuesday, February 10th. The items donated from our school district will be donated to the Wheatland Food Pantry.

Our East Sac FBLA students had an amazing experience with the Iowa Wild on Saturday, January 31, 2026! 🏒📊
Students participated in a behind the scenes look at hockey game operations, learned about careers in the Sports & Entertainment industry from industry experts, and built leadership, communication, and professionalism skills through onsite training. They also networked with FBLA members from chapters across Iowa, explored different departments at the newly rebranded Casey’s Center, and wrapped up the day by cheering on the Iowa Wild at the game!
A great opportunity for real-world learning and leadership development, way to represent our school!

This morning was a special High Five Friday! Our junior and senior wrestlers, basketball players, cheerleaders, and student council members joined us to celebrate Snowcoming. After many high fives and hugs, everyone gathered in the gym for a pep rally where students heard from high school coaches about facing adversity, getting involved, and showing school spirit. Students also enjoyed listening to the high school band perform. It was a great morning to be a Raider!
