Sharing out this great program, we have had students take part in before:
The Higher Orbits will be back at LSSU in June to host another Go For Launch! program for students who are going into grades 8-12 in the 2026-27 school year! This will be a two-day event held on June 16 and 17. Students will work directly with Astronaut Greg H. Johnson as well as former NASA International Space Station Astronaut Instructor and Higher Orbits Founder/CEO Michelle Lucas. Through this experience, students will develop a project and compete to have that project launched to the International Space Station.
Students and families can also go directly to the Event Webpage for information and registration links.

Students explored how Pyret can be used for data science, analyzing thousands of real data points from MiWaterNet sensors. They were fully engaged while discovering just how powerful and user-friendly coding can be when working with real environmental data.
It was an incredible opportunity for our students to dive into coding using Pyret and use technology in a meaningful, real-world way. We’re so proud of their curiosity and enthusiasm!
We are very grateful for our community partners and the positive impact they make on our school community.






Rudyard Area Schools recently held its biennial Career Day, continuing a long-standing tradition that dates back to the 1960s. The event provided students in grades 7–12 with the opportunity to explore a wide range of careers, learn about different pathways after high school, and connect with professionals from across the region.
This year’s event featured a Career Expo in the high school gym, where more than 90 community volunteers generously donated their time to share information about their careers and industries. Students had the opportunity to speak directly with professionals, ask questions, and learn about the education, skills, and experiences needed for a wide range of careers, including drone operators, divers, electricians, boat captains, surveyors, lawyers, health care, law enforcement, and so much more!
Throughout the day, students participated in a variety of career-focused activities, including mock interviews, resume building, financial literacy lessons, trade apprenticeship exploration, and career planning sessions. These activities were designed to help students begin thinking about their future goals and the steps they can take to prepare for life after graduation.
Students also heard from keynote speaker Grace Howrigon, the Head Coach of the Lake Superior State Women's Basketball program, who shared insights about personal growth, career exploration, and the importance of being open to opportunities.
Career Day is an important part of Rudyard’s commitment to helping students connect classroom learning with real-world opportunities. Events like this help students discover new interests, learn about different career pathways, and understand the many options available to them after high school.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the more than 90 volunteers, businesses, organizations, and community members who helped make this event possible. Their willingness to share their experiences and guidance with our students made a lasting impact.
We are grateful for the continued support of our community as we work together to help students prepare for successful futures.
