What an amazing week for the Houghton Lake Bobcats and Roscommon Bucks for Coaches vs. Cancer! 🏀 We raised just under $13,000 for the Cancer Society, and over $1500 for our very own Seth Hutchinson, who’s been bravely battling brain tumors.
A huge thank you to our incredible students, staff, and parents who made this night unforgettable. Seeing everyone come together to support such important causes truly shows the power of community!

Coaches vs Cancer was an absolute success!!!
In the annual rivalry clash with Roscommon, our girls gave a great effort before falling to the Bucks 23-69 in the first game of the night. In the nightcap, our boys led wire to wire to sweep the season series with a 61-50 win.
But the bigger theme of the night, was that both schools combined for a collaborative win, raising over $13,000 for the American Cancer Society, and over $1500 for Houghton Lake student, Seth Hutchinson!!! If there is one thing that can bring the Bucks and Bobcats together, Coaches vs. Cancer continues to be it!
A huge shoutout goes to Coach Amanda Parks for spearheading the entire event along with Trisha Jackson from ACS. HLCS ELA teacher Sarah Armstrong took care of pep assembly planning, decorations, and Spirit Week theming. These two ladies, along with the support of dozens of Roscommon County community members and the HLCS and RAPS staff, completed an event to be proud of.
“The Houghton Lake Forensics team went down to Birch Run for their first tournament of the season. Congrats to Sidney Horski for her 6th place finish in Program Oral Interpretation.”
MS and Varsity Cheer held the annual Cheer on the Lake Competition at HLHS yesterday. In addition to hosting a wonderful event that saw hundred of athletes and spectators in our gymnasium, our squads both brought home 2nd place in their respective divisions!!!

Proud to see our Bobcats growing as leaders and representing Houghton Lake with character!

🔬 Our 8th-grade scientists are in action! Students are working in small groups to measure and calculate wave energy, applying their math and science skills in a hands-on way.📊
With four different number sets around the room, they moved station to station, collecting figures and putting their knowledge to the test. 💡📖
