Proud doesn't even begin to describe this group. As the very first AP Seminar class in our school's history, these students were true pioneers. They stepped into a course with a rough blueprint, overcame challenges, pushed through difficult moments, and set the standard for all future AP Seminar students to follow. This was a difficult class that required perseverance, critical thinking, collaboration, and countless hours of hard work. Through it all, they rose to the occasion and achieved something special together. I want to personally thank my students for their dedication, resilience, and willingness to lead the way. They embraced the unknown, met every challenge, and helped mold this first AP Seminar class into something truly memorable. The path they created will benefit students for years to come.
Your Proud Teacher,
Mrs. Kupstis

What an incredible evening celebrating the Class of 2026 at Big Foot High School's Honors Night!
On Saturday, we recognized the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our students while awarding more than 155 scholarships totaling over $218,000 to 54 graduating seniors.
These scholarships represent far more than financial support—they are a reflection of the countless hours our students have invested in academics, athletics, fine arts, leadership, service, and career preparation throughout their time at Big Foot.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the many families, alumni, local businesses, community organizations, memorial scholarship funds, service clubs, and individual donors who continue to invest in the future of our students. Your generosity creates opportunities that will have a lasting impact well beyond graduation.
Honors Night is a powerful reminder of what makes the Big Foot community special: people who believe in our students and are committed to helping them succeed.
Congratulations to all of our scholarship recipients and award winners. We are proud of everything you have accomplished and excited to see what comes next.
