Generac Donates Engines to Badger High School
Generac Power Systems, a global manufacturer of power products and solutions with its headquarters in southeastern Wisconsin, donated ten gas 5.5 horse-power manual throttle engines to Badger High School in Lake Geneva. The engines will be used in the automotive skills program at the school.
“Students are able to learn how engines work by taking them apart and reassembling them,” said Tom Sheeley, Technology Education Teacher at Badger High School. “These Generac engines are critical tools that we need for learning.”
The donation is part of Generac’s overall commitment to education and STEM skill development.

The Lake Geneva Schools (Lake Geneva Jt.#1 and Badger) will continue to require face coverings for all students and staff in grades 4K-12 until further notice. This is consistent with school board action taken to reopen our schools and is not dependent on legislative action. |
Congratulations and good luck to Nathaniel Rafe who will be competing in the International Career Development Conference. He earned his spot through the State Competition held earlier this year. Nathaniel will compete in the Hospitality & Tourism Professional Selling competition. The event will be held virtually. |
Congratulations, Julia! She has earned a spot to compete in the HOSA International Career Development Conference this summer. Her field will be Pharmacy. Good luck to you! |

We are in the homestretch of this extraordinary school year. May is the month of celebrations at Badger. National Honor Society is inducting 21 new members, Underclass Awards and Senior Awards and Scholarship events all mix with athletic competitions and season celebrations. Our final theater performance and musical productions also occur this month. Please check the dates below for a full listing of special events leading up to graduation.
The semester final exams will be in person this semester. The feedback from teachers and students at the end of semester 1 led us to make this adjustment. The Badger community wants to ensure the fidelity of the exam process while keeping us healthy. Students who are currently 100% virtual will have three options when it comes to testing:
- students can choose to come in and sit with their class to take the final exams;
- students can choose to come in and take them in a different room without their classmates;
- or students can take the exams after hours on exam days;
Teachers have started this discussion in the classroom and will help students navigate the choices.
As our Seniors contemplate their next step beyond high school, there is a non-profit organization, Secure Futures, that provides a “Money Path” for students. This app helps with financial planning. It is free and designed to help Wisconsin teens ``explore how their decisions about college, career, budgeting and saving will impact their long-term goals and lifelong financial success," according to Secure Futures. The app can be found at: securefutures.org/money-path
I hope that during this month of frenetic activity, you and your family find time to pause and consider all the positive moments we’ve had as a Badger community and as individual families during this year. I am very proud of our senior class and all they’ve accomplished and how they have persevered this year.
