What a great opportunity for students to learn about the importance of civic engagement! Thanks for participating, especially on spring break!

Shoutout to the 9 CRJ Trailblazers and Mr. Rangel for taking time out of their Spring Break to compete in the 2026 Wisconsin Civics Games today! They competed against approximately 200 students representing 52 teams from 33 schools across Wisconsin. While they came up short in qualifying for State, they still had a great time and learned a lot from the competition. Great job Trailblazers!
