Germany’s the word at NRHEG High School this year. It’s also where new students Jana Elin-Brand, Julia Kanngiesser, and Celia Ilisch call home – or rather, “first home.”
These three girls, all in 11th grade, are part of the Foreign Exchange Student program for the 2013-2014 school year, and they’ve adjusted well to their second home. Friendly and funny, they are a joy to meet.
Here’s your chance to get to know these ladies, learn about their experiences, and get a small glimpse of what it’s like to live in a new country.
Mission accomplished

Happy or sad?
The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva Panthers couldn't seem to decide. So they were both - with the ledger visibly tilted to the happy side.
The Panthers completed an amazing, improbable, history making two-year run at Williams Arena in Minneapolis Saturday, winning their second consecutive Minnesota Class AA state girls' basketball championship. The Panthers, rated No. 1 in the state all season and seeded No. 1 in the state tournament, defeated No. 2 seed Kenyon-Wanamingo 71-61 for the title, finishing the season with a 61-game winning streak. The Panthers finished 31-0. Kenyon-Wanamingo wound up 31-2, its only losses to NRHEG.
"In 20, 30 years, these girls will be coming back to Williams Arena as legends,” said Panthers coach John Schultz. “To win a state championship, that's one thing. But to do it back-to-back, it's unheard of."

Participating in a sport at the intercollegiate level is an opportunity afforded to a very small percentage of high school athletes. Receiving money to do so is even more rare.
Nick Goette knows how it feels.
The NRHEG High School senior signed a National Letter of Intent last Wednesday to play football on a partial scholarship at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall.
“It’s awesome,” said Goette, son of Rod and Deb Goette of rural Ellendale. “As all this was coming together, I was like, I can’t believe this is happening, I’m getting money for college.”
Panthers do it again!
