For those questioning whether the hairstyles in our window pics were actually authentic 90’s fashion statements… well, the evidence has arrived. And honestly? The resemblance is almost suspiciously accurate, especially in the case of Miss Cindy, whose hair appears to have been personally styled by a combination of Aqua Net, humidity, and pure 1990’s confidence. 🙌🏻
Pretty spot on, if we do say so ourselves. 😉

We had a pretty sweet afternoon celebrating our Seniors!
Our eight seniors had the opportunity to introduce themselves to the entire student body and share their accomplishments and accolades. Mrs. Hartle did an incredible job highlighting each student and recognizing what makes them special.
One of the most meaningful parts of the afternoon was hearing the advice our seniors shared with younger students. Their messages were simple and honest:
* Take advantage of activities and opportunities while you can.
* Get your homework done and turn it in on time.
* Have fun and enjoy the journey.
It really is that simple.
The afternoon was filled with pride, gratitude, and reflection. Our seniors represented themselves with humility, kindness, and character, and we couldn’t be more proud of them. 💙

Brussels Springfest, sponsored by the National Honor Society members, delivered a full day of fun, food, and friendly competition! 🥇 From burgers (thanks, Mady!) and fries (shoutout to Camryn!) to intense rounds of musical chairs, a cracker-eating contest championed by Thor, and spirited volleyball games, there was something for everyone! The ultimate victory went to the BIG DOGS—the seniors—who brought the energy and claimed the win! A special thank you to Levi, who was the first to arrive and lend a hand (on his birthday, no less!)! And of course, none of this would be possible without our rockstar coordinator, Mrs. Johnes, whose leadership made the day unforgettable!! BIG THANKS to ALL WHO PLAYED A PART! 💙

Brussels High School students and staff had an incredible time exploring the St. Louis Art Museum! From classic masterpieces to modern works, the day was filled with creativity, curiosity, and meaningful conversations.
Students experienced art up close, made connections to history and culture, and even discovered a few new favorites along the way.
BIG THANKS to the awesome staff and board for making this trip possible, a neat extension of the classroom! Sometimes, the best lessons come from simply observing, wondering, and being inspired. 💫

Through this event, students had the opportunity to explore careers in the construction industry through interactive booths, equipment operation, and real-world skill demonstrations—from welding and surveying to heavy equipment and more. These experiences help open doors, spark interests, and connect learning to future career pathways in a meaningful way.
We are also beyond proud to celebrate our own Mady Nolte for winning BIG at the event! Your hard work, enthusiasm, and willingness to jump in and try something new truly paid off. 👏🏻

Our own Jed treated his teachers to a sweet treat just because, which is the best kind of gesture. This is kindness. This is THE GOOD STUFF! 💙

Modern Woodmen has recognized our National Honor Society and Mrs. Jeannie Johnes with the Hometown Heroes Award, and it couldn’t be more well-deserved.
As highlighted in the nomination, our NHS students consistently step up to serve others. From supporting the Girl Scouts and local park initiatives to partnering with veteran organizations like the American Legion and meeting needs within our own school, this group leads with service and heart.
And behind it all is Mrs. Johnes. Not only does she serve as sponsor, but she is a constant presence—showing up, cheering on students, capturing moments, and lifting others up in countless ways. Her impact reaches far beyond the classroom.
We are incredibly proud of both Mrs. Johnes and our NHS members for this recognition.
Thank you to Modern Woodmen for honoring the spirit of service in our community—we are truly grateful.
All the good stuff, right here. ✨
