Here's an update from Coach Dufresne on the tennis divisional tournament:
The Hamilton Broncs just completed a wild week of divisional tennis where they weathered rain & lightning delays over a 4-day tournament. I both love & hate the divisional tournament. I love the bus rides, hotel stays, team dinners, and raucous energy of the crowds. I hate that it signifies the end of a journey with this particular group of players.
Five players qualified for the state tournament in Hardin this coming Thurs-Sat (May 28-30th)...
Ciara Hanley - 1st Place, Girls Singles
Jackson Kirkbride/James Tossberg - 2nd Place, Boys Doubles
Alexis Anson/Codie Clarke - 4th Place, Girls Doubles
The girls team got 2nd place overall, with every player getting at least one win.
Singles players included Ciara Hanley, Rhain Hollingsworth, Lily Monaco, and Josie Wolfe. The doubles teams were Alexis Anson/Codie Clarke, Ellie Hattlestad/Kari Hattlestad, and Jasmine Jimenez/Aniston Martz.
The boys team got 3rd place overall. They battled through many close matches & had some great wins. Singles players were Cash Hawkes, Julio Nolte, Jayce Strain. Doubles teams included James Tossberg/Jackson Kirkbride, Brayden Duce/Oliver Simpkins, and Micah Strain/Artem Akopyan.
It was another great season. 55 student athletes embarked on a shared journey together. I am proud of how this team jelled and rallied around each other. The atmosphere of support and inclusion was palpable. When the dust settles on the state tournament, I will certainly look back on this group with many a fond memory. As is the nature of life, change is constant. We will lose 17 players between graduating seniors and foreign exchange students, so next year's team will certainly look a whole lot different. A huge thank you to those 17 student athletes who have a left a positive mark on the Hamilton High School tennis program.
And thank you to each and every student/athlete who chose to play this year. I hope this season enriched your life as much as it enriched mine.
Off to state!

Elvira is Hamilton High School's classroom skeleton. She got to take a relocation adventure between being used as a prop for the Bitterroot Polytech's Wilderness First Aid course and going back to her home in Ms. Antonioli's anatomy classroom.
Hamilton High School students Elly, Lucy, Poshi & Claire making Plumpynut in their Health 1 class, which is a therapeutic food product used to treat malnourished children. The consensus this semester was that it tasted pretty good!
Hamilton High School's Classroom Without Walls recently engaged in their annual three day trip to Yellowstone National Park. Students began their adventure last Friday with a cave tour at Lewis and Clark Caverns, where they learned about the cave history and saw several bats.
On Saturday, they visited Norris Geyser Basin, where they ran into the Daly Elementary 4th graders who were on their Expedition Yellowstone trip. Five of the CWW seniors had attended the very 1st 4th grade trip to Yellowstone eight years ago and were excited to get a picture with Mr. Redmond. The CWW class then headed south to Grand Prismatic Spring and Old Faithful. They finished their Saturday with a campfire along the Yellowstone River.
Thank you to Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Foundation and Hamilton High School FFE for funding this incredible experience!

We had 8 Bitterroot Polytech students participate in a 2-day wilderness first aid safety and CPR training at the end of April. They were awarded certificates from AERIE Backcountry Medicine. In addition to CPR, they learned the basics of wound management, splinting, patient assessment, improvised care and management of hot & cold emergencies in the outdoors.

Bitterroot Polytech Charter School and Hamilton High School students attended a forklift safety and theory course yesterday morning with the Montana Building Industry Association (MBIA) Grip Safety instructor Monty Jensen. They then had the opportunity to visit Pigman Builders' yard to see a telehandler forklift in person. Students were able to directly apply some of the classroom material to the field experience. A special THANK YOU to Pigman Builders for their partnership in this program and for hosting our students! This is a great example of how the Hamilton School District is giving our students real world experiences & opportunities that prepare them for the workforce! Go Broncs!
Sophomore Anthony Steuerwald has distinguished himself as one of the most exceptional mathematics students in the state. His performance at the Montana Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) Math Contest held earlier this year placed him in the top 2% of students statewide—an achievement that reflects not only his deep conceptual understanding, but also his ability to think critically under pressure. Consistently demonstrating precision, creativity, and perseverance, he approaches complex problems with confidence and curiosity. His success serves as a testament to his strong work ethic and genuine passion for mathematics, setting a high standard for academic excellence among his peers.
Anthony deserves a tremendous shout out, and all of us at Hamilton High School are incredibly proud of his academic accomplishments. Earning a top 2% ranking in the state is no small feat, especially as he competed against students from all grade levels across Montana. This achievement highlights not only his exceptional mathematical ability, but also his dedication, discipline, and drive to excel. Anthony’s success stands as an inspiring example of what hard work and passion can achieve.
Great job Anthony! We are proud of you! – HHS Math Department!
