The 2026 Wisconsin Interscholastic Fishing Association (WIFA) State Ice Fishing Championship was held on February 21, 2026, on the Wisconsin River between Stevens Point and Wausau. Nearly 100 high school teams and more than 1,000 student-anglers competed in this walk-on, foot-travel-only event, targeting bluegill, crappie, perch, bass, and northern pike.

The Brillion Fishing Team did an outstanding job battling tough conditions at the state competition. The team put some impressive fish on the board and finished 18th overall out of 97 teams — an excellent accomplishment at this level of competition.

Congratulations to the anglers for their hard work, preparation, and determination. Thank you as well to the coaches, families, and supporters who helped make this season a success. Great job representing Brillion! 🎣#brillionlions

Today in our elementary classrooms, students were busy building their skills and having fun while learning! 📚✏️

From sounding out letters to make new words during reading lessons, to solving math problems and discovering shapes, our young learners were engaged every step of the way. It was a full day of curiosity, teamwork, and growth!

Keep up the great work! #brillionlions

Recently, 24 Brillion Ag students had the opportunity to attend Cultivating Careers at Farm Wisconsin, where they explored the many possibilities available after high school!

Students connected with business and industry professionals, college representatives, and other ag peers, learning about careers across agriculture, food systems, science, and beyond. It was a great chance to ask questions, make connections, and start thinking about future pathways.

Our students had a great time, gained valuable insight, and represented Brillion Ag well! 🚜🐄🌾

The Brillion High School Fishing Team members showed true commitment on the ice on February 14, 2026—and it definitely paid off! 💪🎣

Efficiency is everything when you’re racing against the clock, and it was impressive watching these young men stay focused, work together, and grind it out.

Best of luck as they compete in the upcoming state championship hosted by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Fishing Association!

A big thank you to CentralEyes Guide Service for your support!

Throwback Thursday-1930 Basketball Team! #brillionlions #throwbackthursday

Popular 1930s songs were defined by early swing, big band, and Hollywood musical hits that provided escapism during the Great Depression. Iconic tracks include Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow" (1939), Fred Astaire's "Cheek to Cheek" (1935), and Bing Crosby's "Pennies from Heaven" (1936), along with enduring hits like "Mood Indigo" (1930) and "Moonlight Serenade" (1939).
