First, you heard them. Then you saw them.

A little wave from across the street. A parade of students coming around the corner. Kids from Spence and Longfellow pressed up against the curb. Parents lifting phones. Neighbors calling out names. Friends laughing. Families waving like they were waiting for someone they hadn’t seen in years.

And then the La Crosse Central High School homecoming parade came down the street. For a few minutes, an ordinary Friday afternoon turned into something else entirely.

The sidewalks became bleachers. The street became a stage. And hundreds of people became one very loud, very happy audience.

That’s the funny thing about a homecoming parade. The parade may belong to Central, but the moment belongs to everyone. And in that moment, La Crosse showed up.

La Crosse Polytechnic is officially an Apple Distinguished School!

Apple Distinguished Schools are recognized for finding new ways to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning. At Poly, students use technology to explore ideas, solve problems, create original work, and share what they know.

During this week's celebration, students stepped into the roles of podcasters, filmmakers, photographers, artists, and storytellers.

They recorded podcasts and created videos. They made animated GIFs and practiced digital sketching. They photographed their school and neighborhood. They created commercials about what makes Poly unique. They also explored accessibility tools that can help more students take part in learning.

These experiences build on the Project-Based Learning that happens at Poly every day. Students ask questions that matter to them. Then they research, create, revise, and share what they discover. Teachers at Poly also continue learning, trying new approaches, and sharing ideas with colleagues.

We’re proud to be an Apple Distinguished School, but most of all, we’re proud of the students and staff who make that distinction possible.

Our referendum projects continue to make great progress as crews stay busy at both State Road Elementary, the future home of Pammel Creek Elementary, and the new Hogan Elementary.

At State Road, final site grading is underway as crews prepare for new asphalt play areas and playground equipment. Inside, work continues on second-floor classrooms and a new staircase, while the gym is taking shape with basketball hoops and a rock-climbing wall now installed. Wood flooring is the next major gym installation.

At Hogan, the underground stormwater system is complete, and exterior framing continues as crews work to enclose the building before winter. Along Market Street, the building’s angled exterior elements are beginning to take shape, while the completed upper floors now offer views toward the bluffs.

Thank you for your continued support as we continue building spaces that will serve our students and community for years to come.

A new chapter is beginning for public education in La Crosse. Last night, our Board of Education unanimously approved a new name, logo and tagline for the district:

La Crosse Public Schools
Grow Here. Go Anywhere.

Our new identity brings our schools together under one shared story while celebrating the traditions, pride, and communities that make each school special.

We chose La Crosse Public Schools because it puts our community’s name front and center while proudly highlighting our commitment to public education.

Grow Here. Go Anywhere. captures what we hope for every student. They grow here. Learning, exploring, building connections ,and discovering who they are. Then they go anywhere. To college, a career, the trades, or wherever their path leads.

Our new logo brings La Crosse into that story, with the sun, graduation cap, rivers, bluffs, and marsh coming together in one symbol.

This is just the beginning. We’ll share more about the next steps in the coming months.

A big thank you to CEL Marketing-PR-Design for being a thoughtful partner throughout this process and helping us bring our story to life.

The Fest may be over, but the celebration was still going strong at Emerson Elementary School today.

The 2026 Oktoberfest - La Crosse, WI Royal Family came to Emerson with music, dancing, singing, and plenty of Gemütlichkeit. Led by Festmaster Jon Erickson and Frau Jane Erickson, the visit gave our students a chance to experience a special part of La Crosse’s history and culture right in their own school.

Thank you to the Oktoberfest Royal Family for sharing your time and joy with the Emerson crew. These opportunities help our kids understand the people, stories, and traditions that make La Crosse special. They show the power of service, connection, and giving back.

When we welcome community members into our schools, our kids meet people who serve and celebrate our city, experience local traditions firsthand, and see that their community is more than a place they live. It’s a place they belong.

You saw the photos. Now take another look.

The music. The colors. The smiles. The pride.

For a few minutes, the halls at Northside Elementary/Coulee Montessori became a Hmong New Year parade.

And our students got to experience something pretty special: seeing a tradition celebrated, shared, and enjoyed together.

Sometimes, you just have to see it in motion.

There are some school moments you wish you could bottle up.

Our students and families at Northside Elementary/Coulee Montessori celebrated Hmong New Year and walked through the school in traditional clothing while classmates lined the halls to cheer them on.

You could feel the pride. You could see the joy on the faces of the students walking and watching. And for some of our students, they saw their own culture celebrated right in the middle of their school. For others, they got to experience a tradition they may not have known much about.

Because kids should have chances to bring their whole selves to school. They should see their stories, traditions, families, and classmates celebrated. They should also have chances to discover something new.

Sometimes, that happens in a classroom. Sometimes, it happens when a school hallway becomes a parade. And for a few minutes, everyone gets to see what makes our school community so special.

That’s a pretty great day at Northside.

Top 1% nationally. Two Logan Rangers. One pretty incredible reason to celebrate.

Rohan Pande and Andre Peck have been named 2027 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists, putting them among the highest-scoring students in the country out of more than 1.2 million students who entered the competition.

And while the number is impressive, what really makes us proud is what these two are dreaming about next.

Rohan plans to pursue Environmental Science and Public Policy. Andre is pursuing piano performance and applying to conservatory programs, with plans to keep sharing his music on stages around the country and around the world.

Different paths. Big dreams. And a great reminder of what can happen when students have the chance to discover what they love, challenge themselves, and run with it.

Opportunities in our La Crosse public schools open doors, build confidence, and give students a chance to see just how far their talents can take them. They also reflect the incredible work of the teachers, staff, families, and mentors who help students get there.

We’re proud of you, Rohan and Andre! Keep going. We can’t wait to see where you take this next.

A sea of pink. Thousands of people downtown. And the La Crosse Central High School Riverhawks marching band adding a little more music and energy to an already incredible morning.

For the second year, our Central musicians were invited to play for Steppin' Out in Pink - Gundersen Medical Foundation, performing outside the La Crosse Center as walkers made their way through the event.

You could see the smiles as people passed. Some waved. Some stopped to listen. Some danced their way by.

For our students, this is one of those opportunities you can’t recreate in a classroom. They get to bring something they’ve worked hard to create into the middle of their community and see what happens when people experience it together.

We’re grateful our students get to be part of moments like this. And we’re already looking forward to the next one.
