Court is in Session! ⚖️🏛️
The Practical Law class from New Glarus High School recently traded their desks for a day at the Green County Justice Center!
It was an incredible opportunity for our students to get a behind-the-scenes look at the justice system. They spent the day engaging in insightful discussions with:
Sheriff Cody Kanable
Probation and Parole Supervisor Jeb Searls
The Honorable Faun Phillipson
To cap off the visit, the class observed a live plea and sentencing hearing, seeing the legal process in action.
A huge THANK YOU to the Green County Justice Center for providing our students with such a meaningful and impactful experience. We appreciate your time and commitment to helping the next generation understand the law!

🚜 Rev up those engines—it’s FFA Drive Your Tractor Day! 🚜
There is nothing quite like the sound of a diesel engine and the sight of a slow-moving convoy to remind everyone where our food, fiber, and fuel come from. Today, our New Glarus FFA members are trading the car keys for ignition keys and bringing a little bit of the farm to the New Glarus High School parking lot! 🌾
This tradition is more than just a fun ride; it’s a tribute to the hard work, heritage, and future of American agriculture. Whether it’s a vintage heirloom or the latest high-tech machine, every tractor tells a story of a family and a community that keeps us all growing.

Wisconsin Direct Admit is a statewide program from the Universities of Wisconsin that helps simplify the college admissions process. Through this program, New Glarus High School students can receive early admission offers to several UW universities based on their GPA at the end of junior year—often without completing a traditional application, essay, or paying a fee. For families, this means less stress and more clarity, as students may know their college options before senior year begins and can focus on choosing the best fit and planning for financial aid. During registration for the upcoming school year, families will need to opt out if they do not want their student to participate in the program. Senior students will receive information about the universities they are admitted to at the beginning of August via postal mail and email.
If you have questions about Direct Admit Wisconsin- please visit https://www.wisconsin.edu/undergraduate-admission-resources/admission-pathways-for-wisconsin-high-school-students/direct-admit-wisconsin/. As always, you can reach out to high school counselor Kali Montgomery for more information as well.
