From Coach Rokusek: The Trapper golf team had their final regular season meet today before regions next week. The girls played in Springfield where Macy Rokusek got 14th, Kailin Odens got 11th and Campbell Mogck brought home the 2nd place silver medal! The boys played in Tyndall today. All 4 boys had personal best tournament scores! Wyatt Fischer shot a 90, Asher Sykora carded an 86, Erick Buechler came in with an 85 and Brigham Rokusek was the low boy with an 84. Brigham tied for the last medal but missed out because of the tie breaker. Super proud of these kids and we are really playing well and ready for regions. Keep it up!

Some people teach lessons from books. Others teach lessons by the way they show up every single day. Mrs. Jill Haberman has done both for the Scotland School District for 36 years.
From her beginnings in Kaylor, to the old elementary school classrooms, to the basement rooms in the high school, to the new 5th grade in attached elementary, and finally to middle school social studies, Mrs. Haberman has impacted generations of students from 1990–2026. Through every classroom move and every new group of students, she brought dedication, patience, humor, and care that will never be forgotten.
Thank you, Mrs. Haberman, for the countless lives you have shaped, the encouragement you gave students when they needed it most, and the pride you showed in our school and community. Your impact reaches far beyond lessons and assignments — it lives in the memories and success of the students you taught over the years.
We wish you nothing but the very best in retirement and in this next chapter of life. Scotland School District will not be the same without you, but we already know this is not truly goodbye. We have a feeling we’ll be seeing you again… maybe subbing this fall, maybe in five years… either way, the door will always be open!
Thank you for everything, Mrs. Haberman. Once a Highlander, always a Highlander.
