Congratulations to the Newest Members of the CHS National Honor Society! Congratulations to Austin Feik (Junior), Chandler Kaup (Senior), and Emersyn Propp (Junior) on their induction into the Cozad High School National Honor Society on Thursday, October 22nd!

These students have demonstrated excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. We are proud of their accomplishments!

CHS National Honor Society advisors are Mr. Woody Blackmore and Mrs. Amanda Rossell.

Middle School is all about finding your voice, making your own path, and standing strong with your friends. Next week, Cozad Middle School is proudly celebrating Red Ribbon Week October 26th - October 30th. The 2026 national theme is "Make a Difference. Be A Hero. Stay Drug-Free." Being a hero doesn't require a cape. It means making healthy choices, backing up your peers, trusting your gut, and staying true to yourself.

This week was Digital Citizenship Week.  Students learned to live, learn, and connect online safely and ethically as artificial intelligence becomes part of daily life.  Cozad Middle School students had the opportunity to take a digital citizenship quiz for a chance to win a MAKER STORE shopping spree!  Congrats to winner 6th Grader Arely McFall!

Best of luck to CHS Junior Audrey Baker as she competes today in the Class C Girls State Cross Country Meet!

Race Time: 12:30 PM
Awards: 2:00 PM

We are proud of you, Audrey! Run strong and represent the Haymakers with pride!

Tonight’s Haymaker Highlight at the regular Board of Education meeting focused on the renewed school spirit at Cozad High School! This summer, CHS Principal Mr. Fisher and CHS Activity Director Mr. Yilk were contacted by senior Addison Howerter, who shared her vision for bringing our mascot back to sporting events and building school spirit. Addison presented her idea to the Board, emphasizing the importance of bringing back traditions that unite our students and community. Along with the return of our mascot, the Victory Bell has been restored with the help of community members and staff, and students are learning the school’s victory song! We appreciate Addison’s initiative and leadership, along with the support of our staff and community, in bringing these traditions back to life and creating even more opportunities for Haymaker pride.
