🖤 Did You Know? 💛
100 years ago on October 28, 1926 Babe Ruth played an exhibition game in Iron Mountain at Mountaineer Field!

On the afternoon of October 28, 1926, the Bambino played an exhibition game with area baseball players at Athletic Park on the West Side to a crowd of over 3,000 enthusiastic fans.
Ruth is pictured here with Nello “Fungo” Tedeschi, one of the pitchers for the opposing local team. (Information & black/white photo courtesy of The Iron Mountain Daily News)

Last week a group of Babe Ruth baseball historians gathered at Mountaineer Stadium to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Babe Ruth’s barnstorming game in Iron Mountain. Pictured here they are standing where the Bambino played. (colored photo)

🖤 Tales of a Mountaineer 💛
Chris Powers, Class of 2001
A 2001 Iron Mountain High School graduate, Chris has spent over two decades in music education teaching band, choir, general music, and theater across several Wisconsin school districts. He currently serves as the middle school choral educator and theater director in Kaukauna, WI, and has served on state and national music education leadership boards.
Though a two-time Grammy Music Educator Award nominee and National Board Certified Teacher, Chris considers his greatest accomplishment to be helping students find their voice, build confidence, and create lasting friendships.
Outside the classroom, Chris enjoys camping, hiking, kayaking, and outdoor adventures with his wife and two children—a passion highlighted by their recent completion of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Grateful for the strong foundation, dedication, and encouragement he received at Iron Mountain High School, he is proud to pass those values on to the next generation.
Go Mountaineers!

🖤 Tales of a Mountaineer 💛
David Opsahl, Class of 2006
After graduating from Iron Mountain High School, David went on to serve in the United States Army 🇺🇸. Here's some of what David had to share:

🎓 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿:
Coach & Teacher Russ Pericolosi. "He demonstrated genuine sincerity and care when it came to his students and athletes. He challenged me not only on the wrestling mat, but for grades as well - establishing a goal-focused mentality that stayed with me."
🖤💛 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀:
"Completing the first step of adulthood with pride and confidence."
"𝘚𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭-𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵."
💡 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
"Don’t stop being you, don’t change who you are, and change for no one."

Thank you for your service, David, and for representing Iron Mountain with pride!

Weston Baij, 6th grade, is the son of Amber and Janssen Baij. Weston is an outstanding example of what it means to be a leader and a positive role model.

Whether in the classroom or on the field, Weston gives 100% effort in everything he does. He leads by example through his dedication, positive attitude, and strong character. Among his peers, Weston is often a voice of reason, demonstrating maturity and helping others make good choices. His ability to balance kindness, determination, and leadership makes him someone others naturally look up to. Weston is truly deserving of being recognized as our Student of the Week!
