At Tri-Township High School (TTHS), the high seas came to life in the Tri-Township Gymnatorium on April 5 as students performed their final showing of “The Pirates of Penzance,” a musical adventure packed with laughter, love, and plenty of pirate antics.
Families and fans packed the gymnatorium for the closing night of this swashbuckling student production, which began promptly at 6 p.m. Directed by the school’s theater department and featuring a talented cast of students, the show combined witty humor, catchy tunes, and over-the-top characters to deliver a memorable theatrical experience.

Staff spotlight:
TTHS alumna Katie Wright has come full circle — from student to substitute, then paraprofessional, and now a dedicated special education teacher. Since earning her Master’s in Special Education, she has made it her mission to support students who learn in different ways, helping them grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
“I work closely with students, families, and teachers to make sure each student has what they need to succeed,” Wright said. “It’s about more than just grades — it’s about building confidence and life skills.”
In addition to her teaching role, Wright is an active leader in the school community. She sponsors Leo’s Club and the Middle School Student Council, and serves as PTO Treasurer. She recently joined the LaCrosse Lions Club to continue giving back outside of school.
Outside of work, Wright enjoys spending time with her boyfriend as well as their two dogs, Poppy and Mustard. She likes attending concerts and playing video games too, while staying married to the ultimate grind.
“I’m proud to be a Tiger,” Wright said. “There’s something special about being part of a small school where people care, show up, and lift each other up. Even after all these years, it still feels like home.”
Student spotlight:
Whether she's on the court, the field, or giving back to the community, Braelynn Pavy is making her mark in every way she can.
As a freshman at TTHS, Pavy is a true student-athlete, participating in volleyball, softball, basketball, and track. She’s also actively involved in Leo’s Club and Student Council.
Of all her activities, Leo’s Club holds the most meaning to her.
“I love helping out my community in every way I can,” Pavy said.
Pavy’s favorite class is Algebra I, with her favorite teacher being Health and Physical Education Teacher Sam Weller. She’s incredibly proud to be a Tri-Township Tiger.
“We have such a close community and we are all there for each other,” Pavy said.
After high school, Pavy plans to become a sonographer.
“I’ve always loved the idea of working in a hospital. I knew becoming a nurse would be too much for me, so I decided I wanted to become a sonographer,” Pavy said.
With her drive, compassion, and school spirit, Pavy truly represents the best of TTHS.
