April 22 New Girls Basketball Coach
......we are excited to announce Bryan White as our new Girls Basketball Coach and HS Math Teacher, pending board approval.
One of the priorities in this search was to find a qualified basketball coach who would also be a teacher in the high school to allow day to day access to our athletes. We have found that person and are excited to have Coach White join us at Carlisle High School.

April 29 The Activities Team
(Special thanks to Vicki Born and Rich Parker)
It takes more than just the three of us to accomplish what we try to do each day, and there are other secretaries, administrators, and employees who give us a great deal of support and help. Thank you to all of the folks who contribute to the Activities Department and have helped in my first year here. Couldn't have done it without each and everyone of you.
May 7 Spring/Summer/I Rating
Well, it's been quite an interesting spring. One for the record books. This spring has been unlike any other in terms of cancellations and rescheduling. It's been a challenge for our coaches to gain consistency in their workouts, but they are to be commended for how they've handled it. It's just another example of our motto of "control what you can control". Control your reaction to the situation when you can't control the circumstances and what happens sometimes.
May 13 The Pioneer For The Iowa Girl
This post may be a bit of a history lesson for the younger readers. The young ladies who read this should especially pay attention. On Tuesday, May 14th, E. Wayne Cooley will be laid to rest after a memorial service honoring his life. Mr. Cooley was the man who helped to make girls athletics in the state what they are. Many of you still in high school may have never heard of him, but he was responsible for giving your grandmother's opportunities to play sports long before it was mandated by Title IX in 1972.
May 28 Advice for the Graduates (And Maybe All of Us)
So, if I were to give three pieces of advice here's what I'd offer.
1 - Find what you're passionate about and seek to make that your life work. The goal is to not feel like you have to go to work a day in your life. Think about what your strengths are and use them. Chances are it points to what you're passionate about.
2 - Don't rush. Enjoy the process. You can't have right away what your parents, or other adults, have worked a lifetime to get. This may be a job, the place they live, and some of the things they are able to do. Good things take time. What you've been put here to do may take some time too. Learn from every experience and don't waste the bad ones.
3 - Treat others how you want to be treated. You know, the Golden Rule that I talked about with Kindergarten classes when I taught elementary P.E. isn't a bad way to live. Whatever you do, wherever you go, put others ahead of yourself. Your family, your friends, your coworkers, even the people that are difficult.
