Homecoming 2026 - A week of fun celebrating BURRO spirit!
Natural Resources students took their annual field trip to the Lanesboro Power Plant and Dam! Students learned how power is generated by the dam and how the facility is controlled and operated.
A big thank-you to Dave and Jeff for sharing their time, knowledge, and expertise with our students!i
In more great Burro work outside the classroom, Bryndle Sveen and her horse, “Patrick” Spooks Gotta Boom, were crowned Youth 13 & Under Champions at the All American Quarter Horse Congress, one of the largest single-breed horse shows in the world!
The duo put together an outstanding 217 ½-point ride to take home the championship title!
Bryndle trains alongside her parents through their family business, Freiheit Reiners, where she has dedicated countless hours to developing her skills, horsemanship, and partnership with her horses.
Her hard work is certainly paying off! Bryndle and Patrick are also currently ranked Top 10 in the nation in the NRHA Youth 13 & Under division.

Congratulations to Rylee Nelson, and her family, on exhibiting the Grand Champion Breeding Gilt at the Aksarben Stock Show in Nebraska!
This incredible accomplishment is the result of months of hard work, dedication, caring for and exhibiting “Jelly”, a crossbred breeding gilt at many shows in Minnesota.
Aksarben is a major livestock show in Nebraska, with exhibitors from 14 states, making this achievement even more impressive!
Congratulations, Rylee! We are so proud of you!
