A note from HEF: As always, we had exceptional candidates who will be taking their talents to colleges and universities throughout the state of Iowa and beyond. The HEF board is positive that our community will be impressed with the students who will be recognized this year.

We must begin by thanking the many donors to the Hudson Educational Fund; either named scholarships or those Hudson community members, faculty and staff who contribute gener-ously every year, for without them, we would not be able to assist our students in achieving their dreams to further their education.

This is the 23th year of HEF, and 45 scholarships will be award-ed, for a total of approximately $28,000.

- The Hudson Educational Fund Board Members: Brian McCullough, Jim Prather, Chad Christopher,

Casey Smelser, Jeff Dieken, Mark Schlatter, Brenda Klenk, Leslie Nixon, Liz Seres, Kate Mitchell, Rona Messmore, Zachary Smith, Joanne Hawkins, and Jeanne Hansen

Hudson Educational Fund (HEF) Scholarships

The Aspiring Student Scholarship was established to re-ward a student who illustrated an improvement in their academic commitment. Congratulations, Alexis Bergmeier.

The Athletic Booster Club continues to team up with HEF in providing two scholarships in memory of Clifford Mur-ray.

Both of these student-athletes have held leadership positions on their various teams and excelled in the classroom as well as in athletic competition. Sophie will continue her athletic career at Luther College while running cross coun-try and track and Payton will study Civil Engineering at the University of Iowa. Congratulations, Sophie Selenke and Payton Stuart.

Hudson High School. I will miss your smiling faces in the hallway. I am wishing you a life full of joy and happiness. I am so proud of you!

-Mrs. Uden, math teacher

You are an extraordinary class that has always brought a smile to my face. Continue to be extraordinary

-Mrs. Yoder, English & journalism teacher

To the 2020 Seniors! I have had the privilege to know most of you since you were in 7th grade. It has

Hudson and will be remembered for all of your contributions. Thank you all for letting us share your journey with you, and best of luck always!

-Mr. Curley, business teacher & coach

of accomplishing so many amazing things! Keep striving to accomplish

your goals; never settle for mediocrity, and stay true to yourselves and who you are. We are so proud of you!

Don’t let what you had to endure this spring define who you are. Come out of this a better person.

We believe in you! -Mr. Wurzer, health teacher & activities director

I want to wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors. Thank you for making my first year at

Hudson very special. I look forward to fol-lowing where life takes you all! Go Pirates!

-Mr. Bedard, physical education teacher

Sometimes unexpected things happen that open the doors to bigger, better things. All of you have a door open in front of you… walk through it! I’m proud of you all! #piratepride.

-Principal Dieken

I couldn’t have asked for a better class to welcome me to Hudson. Each of you is smart, capable, and

can make a difference in this world. I can’t wait to see what kind of difference you make!

-Mrs. Koop, guidance counselor

High school did not end the way you planned, but this experience made you more adaptable and

flexible. Take that and let it make you more successful in the future.

-Mrs. Puls, Spanish & English teacher

Good luck in your futures, and stop back by to visit your art home during homecomings.

-Mrs. Angove, art & TAG teacher

Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect. - Margaret Mitchell

and dreams! -Mrs. Petersen, math teacher & coach

Congrats seniors! I know this year hasn’t been like you imagined, but your tenacity, drive, and determination that you have used during these difficult times will take you far in life. -Mrs. Sinnott, science teacher

Don’t worry if you don’t know what you want to do for the rest of your life! It’s

okay. You have plenty of time to figure that out!

-Mrs. Thilges, science teacher & student council advisor

Congratulations, Class of 2020! You are not defined by the setbacks and chal-

lenges you face; you are defined by the choices you make to overcome them.

-Mr. Tecklenburg, choir teacher,musical and play director, &

speech coach
