Broncos Perform Strongly at SLC Conference Championships -
The Union Grove High School Broncos Cross Country team demonstrated remarkable performances at the SLC Conference Championships held at Lutherdale, hosted by Elkhorn High School on October 16, 2025. The meet saw both boys and girls teams from the Broncos competing against athletes from other conference schools.
In a day full of intense competition, the Girls Varsity team shone brightly by securing the second overall place. Sammy Antonneau led the pack for the Broncos, finishing 6th and earning a spot in the Girls 1st Team All-Conference. Additional recognition went to Karlie Peterson and Alyssa Simpson, who both made it to the Girls 2nd Team All-Conference. The Junior Varsity races were equally exciting, with Natalija Milicevic winning the JV Girls race, placing her as an alternate for the upcoming Varsity Sectionals.
The Boys Varsity team also made a commendable effort, placing 4th overall with Xander Stulo, who also finished 6th and was named to the Boys 1st Team All-Conference. Abe Ackley made the Boys 2nd Team All-Conference, reflecting the depth of talent in the Broncos team. Tyson Urban and Cooper Urban significantly improved their times from the previous year by 2 and 3 minutes, respectively, marking notable individual progress. Athlete Mia Wilks also infused the team with motivation, hinting at their readiness for future competitions with her statement about the challenging course.
The Broncos are now setting their sights on their next major competition at the Sectionals, which will be held on October 25, 2025, at Fox River Park in Burlington, WI. With the momentum from this championship, Union Grove High School's cross country teams are poised to make a strong showing.

Our International Foods class had an amazing experience today at Cantonese Restaurant right here in Union Grove! The Li family was so welcoming and accommodating—students learned about cuisine from different regions of China and even got a behind-the-scenes look in the kitchen.
Students saw how popular dishes like General Tsao Chicken, fried rice, and dumplings are made, learned about the restaurant’s use of fresh ingredients and house-made sauces, and even tried their hand at making dumplings!
Of course, the best part was tasting all the delicious food. A huge thank-you to the Li family for opening their kitchen and sharing their passion for authentic Chinese cuisine!

We’re excited to welcome Ashley Heinzmann as a new Program Support Teacher! She will be splitting her time between Union Grove High School and Union Grove Elementary School, supporting students and staff in both buildings. We’re glad to have her as part of our #BroncoFam
What are you most looking forward to in your new role at UGHS?
I am looking forward to meeting new co-workers, as well as joining a community that does what it needs to do to support students with their education and life goals.
What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of education?
I enjoy being active outside (walking, bike riding, hiking), playing volleyball, reading, DIY/home updates, naps, baking, and spending time with friends & family.
What inspired you to become a teacher / go into education?
My youngest sibling is disabled, so growing up with him and seeing his education/progress is what inspired me to enter the world of education (special education in particular).
Is there a quote/mantra that guides your teaching?
"Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody." --Robby Novak (aka Kid President)
She may not be new to Union Grove, but she’s stepping into a new role with us this year! Meet Christie Grochowski, our new high school receptionist. You may recognize her from subbing around the building, or from her popcorn and ice cream shop right here in town. We’re excited to officially welcome her into the #BroncoFam in this role!
What are you most looking forward to in your new role at UGHS?
I love interacting with the students, staff and community. I look forward to helping all the UGHS stakeholders in a variety of ways to make each day at UGHS a little brighter and run a little smoother.
What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of education?
I also own Pine Acres General Store in Union Grove so that keeps me pretty busy but I also enjoy reading, puzzles, craft projects and most importantly spending time with my family.
What inspired you to go into education?
I have been in education for over 20 years, as a teacher, substitute teacher and now this. I had great teachers and mentors that encouraged me to share my love for education and help students make future decisions about careers and other life goals.

Another new face is joining Union Grove High School! Meet Rachel Groth, who we’re thrilled to welcome into our #BroncoFam. Here's what she had to say:
I am excited to be teaching Spanish at UGHS!
I am most looking forward to getting to know the students, staff, and community more.
When I am not teaching, my absolute favorite thing is time with my family (my husband and I welcomed our son, Luka, in April to our little family with our dog, Rosie). Outside of family time, I enjoy birding, trying new food trucks, and video games.
Teaching is my second career. I worked in staffing previously but missed the learning of a classroom environment and talking about the Spanish language and culture. I went back to school to get my teaching license and have been happy with my decision since.
