💚🖤 THANK YOU, KEN BITTNER & THE BITTNER AGENCY! 🖤💚
Houghton Lake Jr./Sr. High School would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Ken Bittner and the Bittner Agency of Farm Bureau Insurance for their generous sponsorship of the Arrive Alive Tour, held at HLHS on Thursday, October 8th!
Thanks to this sponsorship, our students have the opportunity to experience an engaging, hands-on educational program focused on the dangers of distracted, impaired, and drugged driving.
Through a state-of-the-art driving simulator, students can experience the potential consequences of dangerous driving behaviors in a safe, controlled environment. This powerful experience reinforces the importance of making responsible decisions behind the wheel.
Programs like the Arrive Alive Tour are about more than driver education. They are about saving lives, protecting our students, and helping young people make decisions that keep our entire community safe.
We are incredibly grateful to Ken Bittner and his agency for investing in the safety and well-being of our students. We also appreciate UNITE's Arrive Alive Tour and the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning for their partnership in bringing this important message to HLHS.
Thank you, Ken, for your continued commitment to our students and the Houghton Lake community!
💚 BOBCAT PRIDE! 🖤

Our 7th graders absolutely crushed the classic Rainbow Lab! 🌈🧪They practiced their metric measurement skills by carefully mixing colors to try to create a perfect gradient.
It is definitely harder than it looks—one tiny mistake with the graduated cylinder completely changes the final result. So proud of our future scientists and their awesome teamwork! 👏

The Class of 2027 kicked off their last first day at HLCS the best way possible — leading Bobcat Nation at our Back-to-School Assembly! 🐾💚
This class has been a true change agent at Houghton Lake, helping shape our school culture, setting the standard for student leadership, and leaving HLCS better than they found it.
Now, they have one final year to make their mark.
We could not be more excited to see how this incredible group makes their senior year their BEST year yet!
