⭐️It's time for our Friday Staff Spotlight⭐️ Please help us give a warm welcome to Cesar Torres, our new school psychologist and guidance counselor.
I graduated from Creighton University with a Major in Psychology and Minor in Biology. I got my masters in educational psychology from The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and my Ed.S - school psychology degree from UNL as well. This is my second year as a fully licensed school psychologist.
I am married, have two cats and one dog, and have two sisters (I am the middle child). My family lives in Iowa and I love spending time with them. I enjoy running, cooking, and anything related to art. I speak two languages and am so excited to support bilingual students.
I am excited to be part of a community that feels like home. I am most excited to see students progress from all the cool programs and services we are providing.
Welcome to #NebraskaWildcatNation Cesar! We are glad to have you as part of our team! ❤️🖤
🎨 This week, our art students explored the element of Space in their artwork. We began by studying the renowned landscape watercolor artist, Thomas Moran, whose use of depth and perspective served as great inspiration. The students then applied these concepts by creating their own watercolor landscapes, focusing on how to effectively incorporate space using foreground, middle ground, and background to create a sense of depth in their compositions. It’s been exciting to see the creativity flow as they grasp these important concepts and translate them into their own unique visions.
Next time you're walking through the cafeteria, feel free to stop by and take a look at the student artwork on display! Their creativity and hard work are truly worth seeing. 🎨
Doane University hosted the "Froshmore" Vocal Festival this week featuring 9th and 10th grade singers from over 15 schools across the state. Students performed 4 songs, including one the Doane Choir. Holley Kintigh, Jemma Bernal, and Shaylin Bargen represented Superior at the event!

Personal Finance students are finishing up their checking account unit, so it was the perfect time for a local banker to come and share their banking knowledge.

This week, our art room was buzzing with creativity as students dove into the world of Abstract Cubism Portraits! Inspired by the legendary Pablo Picasso, they played with Shape and Value, using bold Oil Pastels to bring their wild and colorful visions to life. These quirky, cubist faces are full of surprises—angles, colors, and expressions you never saw coming!

Please help us give a warm welcome to Lora Whetzal, our new ELA teacher.
🍎 Position: HS English/6 Reading
In May, I retired after teaching for 31 years in Kansas and Oklahoma. During this time, I have served as a basketball and track coach, librarian, class sponsor, Kansas Association for Youth sponsor, Fellowship of Christian Athletes sponsor, school play co-director, and a member of the school and district leadership teams.
My husband, John, and I have three kids, Evan, Logan, and Keaton; a foster son, Darrian, a daughter-in-law, Ashley; two sons-in-law, Sean and Ethan; and three grandchildren, Carley, Gavin, and Macy. My hobbies include painting anything I can get my hands on, sewing a variety of items, reading historical fiction, and gardening. My favorite time spent is with my family, especially with the three that call me Grandma. Fun facts about me are that I am the seventh of thirteen children, I grew up on a dairy farm, I have three small dogs, and someday I want to write and illustrate children's books. I am excited to teach in Superior because of its quality students, teachers, and staff.
Welcome to #NebraskaWildcatNation Lora! We are glad to have you as part of our team! ❤️🖤
Having a little fun in Algebra class with some Math Libs.
Students had to solve equations to get a word or phrase, then they used it to fill in the Math Lib.
Wet grass from an early morning rain can't keep us from enjoying family time together! Our 4th Annual Lunch Buddy Picnic was again a success with lots of smiles all around! Share your family's pictures below.
Students in Mrs. Whetzal's Junior English class began their year-long project of reading to the Kindergarteners and the first graders. They will alternate weekly between the two grades. Pictured here are the Juniors with the Kindergarteners. #NebraskaWildcatNation
High School Choir isn't "sleeping on the job", but instead doing some focused practice on deep breathing. Students put their folder or music on the stomach with the goal of raising the folder with each breath before they sing. Join these students and the 7/8 General Music class at their first concert on October 16th!
