Greetings!
The need for skilled trades professionals in the U.S. is growing. Between now and 2024, there will be more than 1.5 million skilled trades job openings as Baby Boomers retire, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence, which recognizes outstanding instruction in the skilled trades in U.S. public high schools, awarded $510,000 to the three first-place winners and seven second-place winners.
Mr. Hughes, one of our outstanding technical education teachers, was chosen from a field of nearly 700 applicants to finish in the top 10. Mr. Hughes has developed rigorous courses and provided many opportunities for our students at Sheboygan Falls High School. By finishing in the top 10, our high school will receive a donation of $20,000 for our students in skilled trades programs.
Congrats and thanks, Mr. Hughes!
Go Falcons!

Congratulations to all Falcons fall athletic teams on their continued hard work and outstanding seasons! All teams finished 4th place or better in conference standings. Football, soccer, and volleyball all advanced beyond the first round of tournament play. Football won an EWC championship for the third consecutive year! It is certainly a great time to be a Falcon! Go Falcons!
Please keep in mind, as the hunting and holiday seasons approach, that attendance at school is extremely important to academic success and extracurricular participation. Being at school allows students to positively experience all of the outstanding classes, clubs, programs, and sports we have to offer at Sheboygan Falls High School.

Project Grill Off to a Great Start
|
|
This school year the SFHS Project GRILL course is designing and constructing two grills. One team is sponsored by Sargento and is fabricating a grill for the Sheboygan A’s baseball stadium. The other team is sponsored by Safco/Mayline and that grill will be built for and donated to the Sheboygan County Pink Heals program.
The students’ expectations, excitement, and energy are high this year coming off of last year’s amazing grill, the Bratgriller dozer for Alliant Energy. We proudly swept the awards at the Project GRILL
Showcase last May.
The two team leaders are poised to out-do what was accomplished last year. The teams are organized and designing has begun. The students have been busy creating resumes and cover letters, learning about finance, leadership, and brainstorming, as well as skill building projects in the shop.
Pictured is our Team Mayline Project Leader and Documentation and Marketing Leader presenting to the Pink Heals committee on the current design for their grill.
