Annual USC robotics season kickoff next week!

USC Parking Lots Closed for Maintenance July 30–August 1

United South Central Schools will be closing several parking areas this week for scheduled maintenance. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (July 30–August 1), the main parking lot, service road, bus garage area, and tennis court lot will be closed for seal coating.

During this time, on-street parking will be the best option. In coordination with the City of Wells, temporary on-street parking will be available along 11th Street and 6th Avenue to help accommodate visitors and staff.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this necessary maintenance work.

Rebel Country, It's State Championship Day for your USC Softball team! The girls will take the field at Jane Sage Cowles Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota for a 6:30pm clash with Badger/Greenbush-Middle River. If you are planning to be in attendance, please make note of the following: -Review the spectator guide for the State Tournament, particularly the info specific for Jane Sage Cowles stadium, what you are allowed to bring in/out, parking, as well as fan behavior expectations. You can find the guide here: https://www.mshsl.org/sites/default/files/2025-05/2025-softball-spectator-guide.pdf -Reserved seating that was purchased gets you your seat for the USC game ONLY. You may go to the Stadium sooner, but will need to remain in general admission or standing room only until it's time for our game as other schools have also purchased the same seats for their respective games. They will vacate when their game is done, and you may then proceed to your seats. -WEAR RED. It's a Rebel 'Red Out' and we want our outstanding fanbase to make a statement at Jane Sage! -Enjoy the experience. This has been an incredible ride, and we get one last chance to see these kids take the field and bring home some hardware. If you can't make it, a reminder that you can listen live on KBEW 98 Country, or watch live on the Neighborhood Sports Network (nspn.tv). Roll Rebs!
