Nicolet senior Sienna Clarke has been named a Congress-Bundestag Vocational Scholar for the 2026-27 school year 👏
This program offers graduating high school seniors the opportunity to spend their 13th year abroad living with a German host family, participating in a training or school program, and gaining work experience through internships with German companies. CBYX scholars also serve as youth ambassadors for the United States, sharing our culture with Germans and bringing ideas from the German culture back to their home communities. Other highlights are the midyear seminar in Weimar and the culminating Berlin seminar, where students meet with members of the German parliament.
In addition to German interest and ability, CBYX winners need to be well-rounded individuals with strong communication skills and intercultural awareness. The Vocational CBYX is highly selective; only 25 students nationally are chosen. Sienna’s selection is an affirmation of the academic and co-curricular programs at Nicolet. She has participated in all facets of our German program and in 2024 she was awarded the Joachim Herz Foundation Scholarship. Sienna has also made significant contributions to our theater, instrumental music and yearbook, and is on the media youth team for her faith community, the Divine Temple Church of the First Born. She hopes to intern with either a theater or with a print/digital media company.
Initiated in 1983, the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange program was created to strengthen ties between Germany and the United States. CBYX is jointly funded by the U.S. Congress and the German Bundestag, and is overseen in the U.S. by the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Sienna is the 20th Nicolet German student to be selected for this program since 2003. Natek Meinhardt is currently studying in the Hanseatic city of Greifswald in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks to the Nicolet Black Student Union students for stepping up as amazing mentors to the Maple Dale students! Your advice and guidance on those tough life topics and scenarios are absolutely invaluable. The younger students were totally inspired by your energy and insights.
Whether you were talking about handling peer pressure, being a good friend, or chasing your dreams, you guys brought the influence and made a real difference. Your passion and willingness to share your experiences meant the world to them👏

Our Nicolet Ceramics students just wrapped up a heartwarming collaboration with the 2nd graders at Parkway Elementary School👹
Since February, our high school artists have been working as professional "monster makers" for their 2nd-grade clients. Each of the 95 custom clay monsters was specially designed and sculpted based on the unique drawings provided by their young partners.
The highlight of the project was the in-person delivery—the sheer excitement when the 2nd graders finally met their 3D "monstrous" friends was truly special for everyone involved.
New this year: We’ve created a 2026 Monsters Collaboration Website to share the full experience! You can check out our student portfolios, see the step-by-step process of how these monsters were made, and view photos and videos from the delivery day. It’s all there for the community to share in our collaboration!

We love seeing our students use their talents and months of dedication to bring joy and creativity to our community. Way to go, Ceramics classes 👏

Román is a junior at Nicolet High School, who demonstrates a commitment to the community through service and volunteerism, impeccable character, and high academic potential and performance.

His work ethic, inquiry for more, and kind nature are aspects that lift students to achieve more and simply to be better just by being around him.

He is excited to learn and is always willing to share what he knows to help others. Román is described by his teachers as absolutely fantastic, kind, thoughtful, uplifting and so very deserving of the Service Above Self Award.

Last week, Nicolet Spanish 4/4H students had the opportunity to visit Acosta Middle School in Milwaukee, where they met and spent time with their Spanish-speaking pen pals. Through this special partnership, students have been exchanging letters and sharing their experiences, building meaningful connections.
Next month, Nicolet will welcome Acosta students to our campus to return the visit❗

Twenty-eight students from the Nicolet High School Performing Arts Department recently completed a highly successful cultural and educational tour of London, United Kingdom . The immersive trip, led by Jamin Hoffman, was specifically designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and professional practice in music and theater.
Students gained professional inspiration by attending world-class performances, including Hamilton, Hadestown, and My Neighbor Totoro. Educational highlights included a performance by the Guildhall Jazz Voices and a technical visit to the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music, offering a direct look at international collegiate-level arts education.
For many students, this was their first international experience. They successfully navigated the complexities of a global city, managed their own schedules, and used the London Underground (Tube) system, leading to visible gains in maturity and independence. The program proved life-altering for some, such as graduating senior and bass player Jakai Norman, who found vocational clarity to pursue music as a career.
The tour was a resounding success, moving beyond sightseeing to become a foundational educational experience. Students returned with greater technical inspiration and a deeper understanding of their place in the global arts community.
