Muskego Teacher's Memory Honored with Naming of Observatory at High School

Former science and astronomy teacher Jerry Stueber passed away earlier this year, and an observatory at Muskego High School, which was unknown to many, will get new life and a new name to honor him.

The nature of science is discovery, and it was an irony that the passing of a former Muskego High School science teacher on February 4 would lead to a rediscovery of an otherwise unknown and rare asset at the school. Jerry Stueber was a teacher at MHS beginning in 1957, and in the midst of the "space race" and his own passion for studying the heavens, he orchestrated the construction of an observatory, complete with a pull-back roof and high power telescope. Stueber's astronomy students used the facility, as well as other students, staff and an astronomy club that formed as a result.  The decline in interest has left the observatory idle, and apparently forgotten,  until now. "I have to admit, I worked inside the school for four years, and…

What a fantastic asset the observatory is. I peered through the "scope" there in the early 60's as a grade schooler. Then later as a member of the high school astronomy club. Thank you Jerry and Mr Lang for making this honor happen. There are a few more assets there at the high school that could be renamed for our former great teachers and coaches who dedicated their all for the students. . Some …   more ›

AFS Serves Up Desserts With an International Flavor

International Dessert Night was a display of the many flavors of the world, and was aimed to tempt families into trying a taste of culture abroad

Desserts were on the menu, and they came from far and wide at the AFS (American Field Service) International Dessert Night at Muskego High School Thursday evening. However, amid the sweets on the table was a message of encouragement for families who are considering hosting a student, or perhaps allowing their child to venture around the world to study in a foreign country themself. Fernanda Balthazor, who was once an AFS student herself, explained the possibilities amidst the pastries, which came from Italy, Germany, Greece, Mexico and many other countries.  Muskego High students currently in the program from other countries include Sumire Terai from Tokyo, Japan, Soren Alrutz from Germany, and Thomas Lescoute from France.

As a parent of an MHS sophomore I cant tell you how enraged I am that we were not informed as this was happening. Why not send out one of their automated calls? Like Just me said whats the big secret? And Kelly Thompson said school was dismissed early because of the weather, so why not let out an hour or two early? Maybe it would have been dangerous to let the kids out thats why. If no students …   more ›
