The previous is from the twitter that the coaches posted about the week. We also want to add that the team also has the best coaching staff there is including their wives and kids.
“We, as a wrestling community, better remember it is more than one individual that makes a winner.” Dan Gable
On behalf of the wrestling parents, we would like to acknowledge not only to the great group of coaches we have, but also their wives and kids who take a back seat to our wrestlers during the season. It is the dedication and commitment of so many that allows our boys to chase their dreams and learn so many life lessons along the way.
THANK YOU to the coaches for being in the boys corner supporting, guiding and cheering them on through many matches this year and showing them how to work hard and achieve so much on and off the mat. And to the wives and kids we can’t thank you enough for sharing your husband and dad with our boys.

What an amazing 3 days our band students had at 2023 UNI Northern Festival of Bands. From Thursday till Saturday we had four of our students representing Algona along with 70 other Schools with over 327 students from Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota. Lots of practice and many performances they were able to watch. Great time and represented Algona so amazingly. Lots of new friendships were made.
