Fremont High School Students Attend Career Day

Fremont, Neb. – (Jan. 30, 2020) Fremont High School sophomores recently attended a regional career day, hosted at Midland University, along with students from 12 other schools. Students chose a career field of interest, such as marketing, agriculture, arts, government, health sciences or science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Attending career sessions to learn more about careers in their chosen field were some of the activities students were involved in. 

The event was organized by the Fremont Area Career Development Coalition, comprised of  the University of Nebraska Extension, Midland University, Metropolitan Community College, Fremont Public Schools, Area Health Education Center, Fremont Area Chamber of Commerce and Greater Fremont Development Council.  

Barb Pierce, Existing Business Director for the Greater Fremont Development Council said, “Many of these students are still exploring their options for the future, and events like these can open their eyes to many possibilities they had never even thought of.  And better yet, most of the opportunities are found at companies in their hometown, waiting and willing to help them find a career path right for them.”

“Fremont Public Schools is proud to have great partners in Midland University and Metropolitan Community College to give our students many career options, right here in Fremont,” said Mark Williams, Career and Technical Education Coordinator for Fremont Public Schools. “Fremont Public Schools supports career education for all students, no matter their career interests.”

“This is a great opportunity for Industry and Education to come together for the benefit of area students,” concluded Williams.

Fremont, Neb. – (Nov. 15, 2019) Fremont Public Schools is pleased to announce the signing of two Fremont High School students, one current and one former, with their respective employers for fully paid education through Metropolitan Community College. These students will work part time while taking classes at MCC and graduate with a full time job. “This is a great example of the partnership between Fremont Public Schools and Metropolitan Community College meeting our students’ needs,” said Todd Hansen, executive director of the MCC Fremont Area Center.

 

Candido Ortiz, FHS senior, signed with S2 Rolloffs, Refuse & Recycling as a diesel tech and welding employee. He currently has one year left of MCC classes and will graduate debt free and continue his career with S2. Josh Miller, service writer at S2 stated, “We are excited to be a part of this partnership and look forward to the great things Candido and future students can do.” Ortiz’s mother, Marina Morales said, “No words can express my happiness. His father, Ramiro Ortiz and I are so proud of him and proud that he stayed in school to receive this great opportunity.”

 

Dawson Holverson, FHS Class of 2019 graduate, signed with NMC Cat of Omaha as a diesel tech. NMC Cat is proud to be a part of this partnership and making a difference in students’ lives. “Partnerships between industry and education are crucial in strengthening Nebraska’s labor market by developing talent that meets the requirements of our local economies. For almost 25 years, NMC Group has partnered with local school districts and post-secondary institutions to help advance the technical skills of students pursuing careers in diesel technology,” said Ben Gano, director of talent and client strategy. Holverson is currently working in the rental division, learning from his mentor. Holverson said, “I can’t find a better deal than getting out of school debt free. It’s really nice to graduate with a job and have job security.”

 

This partnership is a great example of collaboration between schools and community. “Our community businesses are giving life changing opportunities to these students and these are not the only companies that offer this type of opportunity. Our community employers see the talent that our young people possess and want to work to build on their skills,” said Mark Williams, career technical education coordinator at Fremont High School. Hansen said, “Business and industry education sponsorships are getting more popular. Employers are making an investment on the front-end to recruit students to develop and expand their business.” We look forward to future partnerships with our community businesses and keeping our talent local.

Any Fremont Senior High student who has earned a grade point average of 3.7 for each of any 2 consecutive semesters in grades 9, 10, 11 or 12 is eligible to receive this award. The two consecutive semester requirement was developed in an effort to stress consistency in efforts related to study and self-discipline. The high GPA requirement of 3.7 recognizes superior academic achievement.

 

The first level award is an academic felt F letter with honor printed on a scroll and an “Academic Achievement” certificate indicating a first-year award. The second and third level awards are a Fremont Tiger 2 nd or 3 rd level academic pin and a certificate label. Recipients will be eligible to receive a 4th level academic pin at Graduation along with a fourth-year certificate label. Attendees also heard a speech from guest speaker, Matt Blomstedt, state education commissioner.

Congratulations to all students!

Fremont High School Tennis Coach, Justin Bigsby was recently honored with the Nebraska Tennis Association’s High School Coach of the Year.

Justin Bigsby serves as the current high school boys and girls tennis coach for Fremont High School and supports and promotes USTA programs by consistently encouraging his players to participate in district level events (both Level 5 events as well as NET events.)

Bigsby’s high school team had a record of success in win-loss and/or in improvement of players during the season. The Fremont High School Boys’ Team improved their dual record from 4-4 in 2017 to 7-1 in 2018. The 2018 team was led by Alex Bigsby & Austin Callahan, who earned 4th place State medals at #1 doubles (the first State medalists for Fremont since 2006!)

Bigsby and his family will also be honored as Tennis Family of the Year.  From committee roles to tournament staff to weekends on the road, Justin, Sara, Alex, Abbie, and Anna have all embraced tennis and all that it has to offer.

“I’m honored to receive this award because of what it stands for.  The NTA Coach of the Year award isn’t so much about wins and losses, but more about building a program and including all student-athletes, no matter their ability level.  Our 12-court facility as provided me the opportunity to be a no-cut coach my entire career.  It just means that I’ve been able to introduce so many more young people to this sport and hopefully give them the opportunity to be part of a team and learn a sport that they can play for life,” says Bigsby

During the summer months you can find Justin & Sara help run all Fremont junior tournaments, Justin usually serving as Tournament Director or Referee and Sara facilitating the tournament desk. Alex, Abbie, & Anna all help with the behind-the-scenes operations of the tournaments, including facility cleaning, facility set-up and tear-down before/after tournaments, helping at the tournament desk, and running concessions.

Justin has facilitated junior tennis lessons (group & private), junior leagues, and free hitting sessions for over 20 years in Fremont. Alex has begun working with the Fremont YMCA in helping with group lessons as well as offering private lessons to young players just beginning to play competitive tennis. Additionally, Alex, Abbie & Anna have all volunteered with 10&under orange and red ball groups during the summer.

All three children have embraced the competitive side of the sport as well. Alex competes at both the district and sectional levels as well as on his high school tennis team. He has been consistently ranked in the top 30 of each age division since beginning junior competition in the 12 & under division and medaled in #1 doubles at the 2018 Class A State Tournament. Abbie and Anna both compete in local district level tournaments. And Abbie will be joining the high school girls team as a freshman this year.
