The Nicolet Student Services Department took 45 students on a field trip to Carthage College to attend the Wisconsin Education Fair. Wisconsin Education Fairs offers Wisconsin-wide college fairs, providing students, families, and school counselors access to over 100 colleges, universities, military branches, and specialty schools. Students were able to chat with representatives, meet other students, and narrow down their college search. It was a great day ❗

The Nicolet Varsity Cheer Team volunteered at the Fish and Feather Festival and Hubbard Park on Saturday, October 12th. Situated on the banks of the Milwaukee River, the team spent the day with over 200 kids in the creative kids zone, participating in arts and crafts, river wading, and animal assistance.
We’re proud of our Knights for always bringing energy, kindness, and community spirit wherever they go❗

We are excited to introduce Kaitlin Grover, our new school nurse. Welcome to Nicolet High School❗
Hello! My name is Kaitlin—though most people call me Katie—and I’m thrilled to be joining the Nicolet Union High School community as your new nurse. I live in Menomonee Falls with my husband, Ross, and our two boys, Cal (9) and Vaughn (5). As a family, we love exploring new adventures, traveling, playing and watching sports, cooking and enjoying great food, and taking in live music. My entire 15-year nursing career has been dedicated to pediatrics, primarily at Children’s Wisconsin. I am deeply committed to supporting the health and well-being of children and young people, and I look forward to bringing that passion and experience to our school community. I value strong communication and teamwork and am eager to build connections with staff, students, and families.
Please feel welcome to reach out or stop by my office to say hello 🩺
