HS^2 ALUMNUS DESIGNS COURTYARD AT KMHS!!! Sometimes, a project comes full circle in the most unexpected ways. Austin Ryan, a 2020 Kettle Moraine graduate, recently returned to his former school to help transform the courtyard he once dreamed about as a student.
The story began with a chance encounter at Mama D’s Coffee Shop, where Austin ran into one of his former teachers, Mrs. Mau. She mentioned that the courtyard was in need of significant attention and encouraged him to stop by and take a look. Austin eventually provided a quote for the project and returned this spring to complete the work as a landscape designer.
There was an extra connection to the project that made the work even more meaningful. During his time at Kettle Moraine, Austin participated in a special end-of-term class in which students were asked to create landscape plans for the courtyard. At the time, the space was largely weeds with little structure, and students developed their own visions for what it could become. Austin's design wasn't the one selected, but he never could have imagined that years later, he would return as a professional landscape designer to help bring the courtyard into its next chapter.
It's a wonderful reminder that the experiences students have at Kettle Moraine can come full circle in ways they never expect.

SOCCER TEAM VOLUNTEERS AT KMCC!!! A new chapter is taking shape at the KM Community Center and our community is helping to build it together. Members of the KM Boys Varsity Soccer Team traded their cleats for work clothes Friday, and helped prepare the grounds at the Community Center. They moved nearly 50 yards of mulch, weeded, and tackled outdoor projects together.
As this building begins its next chapter, we recognize that this space holds meaningful memories for generations of families. There is something special about seeing students, staff, families, and community members come together to help shape what comes next. Culture is built through people, service, and shared ownership. Friday was a small but meaningful example of that spirit and of a new beginning being built together.
This project would not have been possible without the help of one of our players and his personal landscaping business. He brought his truck and trailer as well as additional wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes, and a leaf blower.
