🤼♀️🔥 Making History for Big Rapids! 🔥🤼♀️
We are incredibly proud of our two Big Rapids female wrestlers who have earned their way to the Individual State Finals! Aaliyah Langell and Darriana Thomas are trailblazers as the first girls in Big Rapids history to qualify for the MHSAA Individual Wrestling State Finals.
They will compete March 6–7 at Ford Field in Detroit, representing our school and community on the biggest stage in Michigan high school wrestling.
Their hard work, determination, and grit have led them to this moment, and we can’t wait to cheer them on as they continue to make history.

Last night at the Board of Education meeting, we were proud to recognize our secretaries and clerical paraprofessionals for their outstanding service to our district. They were presented with Certificates of Recognition honoring their commitment to excellence and the countless ways they help our schools run smoothly, each and every day.
Their dedication, professionalism, and behind-the-scenes support play an essential role in the success of our students, staff, and schools. We are incredibly grateful for all they do.
Join us in showing them some appreciation!

🏒 Cardinal Spirit on Full Display! 🏒
Today, Friday, January 16, our 8th–12th grade students had the opportunity to attend the Big Rapids High School hockey game against Grand Rapids Catholic Central — and it was incredible to see our students show up and support our programs.
While the Cardinals didn’t come away with the win on the scoreboard, the Cardinal Spirit in the stands was victorious. Seeing students cheer on their peers and represent BR with pride is what school community is all about.
A huge thank you to the staff who made this experience possible — from scheduling and transportation to event coordination and entertainment. Your behind-the-scenes work created a memorable day for our students.
Cardinal Pride always wins!
