Nicolet junior Tyler Friedel has been named a Congress-Bundestag Scholar for the 2023-24 school year. CBYX scholars serve as youth ambassadors for the United States, sharing our culture with Germans and bringing the German culture back home. CBYX scholars live with German host families and attend school.
In addition to an interest in German, CBYX winners need to be well-rounded individuals with strong communication skills and intercultural awareness. Tyler’s selection is an affirmation of the academic and co-curricular programs here at Nicolet. In German, he has been active in the German Club, the German Honor Society and the AATG Pronunciation Contest. He is also a Spanish 4H student and a dedicated member of our tennis and ski programs.
Tyler is the 18th Nicolet German student to be selected for this program in the last twenty years. Jack Drouhin is currently studying in Arnsberg, Westphalia. Soph Franecki spent fall of 2021 in Berlin. Other recent winners are Octavia Grimes and Anja DuPlessis (2019) Francisco Cid-Rodriguez and Caroline Marowski (2018) Maria Graziano (2017) and Robert McCracken (2016). Junior Leyla Emir was also chosen for the program, but has elected to stay at Nicolet for her senior year.
This week is National Assistant Principals Week. Nicolet is fortunate to have Cristy Bauer and David Coyle working tirelessly to bolster teachers, motivate students, support our principal, and create a positive learning community all while they face the many unpredictable challenges that land on their desk every day! We appreciate all you do!
Nicolet Hebrew teacher Yael Gal has been selected as a 2023 Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Teacher Fellow. Yael was chosen for this $6,000 grant from among many fine candidates because of her skill as a leader and agent for positive change, and her superior ability to inspire love of learning.

Their guides were not only impressed with their knowledge of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, but they were also amazed by how well the students understood, spoke, and asked questions throughout the tour! ¡Buen trabajo estudiantes!

Congratulations to the Students of the Month for February. Each academic department selects a Student of the Month who is recognized for helping to promote academic achievement, academic growth, leadership, and resilience in the classroom.
Members of Delta Epsilon Phi (the German Honor Society) attended Acacia Theater's performance of We Will Not Be Silent on Sunday, March 19th. The play tells the story of Hans and Sophie Scholl, whose Munich student group The White Rose attempted to topple the Nazi Regime. At the talkback, DEP members were able to share their experiences learning about the Scholls while touring Munich on our 2022 GAPP Exchange.
Nicolet had an excellent showing at the Badger State Science and Engineering Fair (BSSEF) last Saturday!
Ethan Zentner earned a Grand Award at BSSEF (one of three top winners overall), winning a spot to compete at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) May 14th-19th in Dallas, TX. Because Ethan won the Nicolet Fair and a spot to ISEF for a second time, this opened up another opportunity for a Nicolet student to attend the international competition. The BSSEF judges recommended Jason Shao as he was ranked 4th overall at BSSEF, so Jason will also be joining Ethan in May!
Alex Anoma, Jason Shao, Ivan Rivera-Mendez, Ziddane Isahaku, and Ethan Zentner all earned specialty awards. (Ethan won two and Ziddane walked away with six)! One of Ziddane's awards, the Genius Olympiad Award, earned him an opportunity to travel and compete at a special competition in NYC this summer. Many of the students earned cash prizes with their awards as well!
The Category Awards earned are:
Grant Probst - 2nd in Behavioral Sciences
Jacob Byers - 1st in Biology
Ethan Zentner - 2nd in Engineering
Jason Shao - 1st in Health Sciences
And a HUGE shout out to all the faculty and staff members who contributed in one way or another to the success of the students and the Science Fair; Steph Rasmussen, Andi Winkle, Jeff Houck, Dave Quam, Sarah Richter, Kelly Pierzchala, Adam Thiel, Andy Weber, Michael Dicks, Kelly Wendel, Mike McKenna, Joe Patek, Tony and Marisol and the rest of the custodial staff and all the others that played a role in helping the kids with their projects. It was an amazing team effort!.
Kelly Wendel and Jeff Houck were spotted spreading a bit of Irish luck and some wee treats to staff and students in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
