High School Basketball

Dear Absarokee School Family,
We are heartbroken over the recent events in our community. The ripple effect of this tragedy has been felt deeply throughout Absarokee. Mrs. Justine Dawson gave many years of her time as an Absarokee School District board member. She will be remembered as being giving, fair, and incredibly supportive of all the students and staff in our district. More than anything, her love of her daughter, Nila, was always apparent. Justine’s impact will be lasting even as we grieve her absence in our community.
Nila, a Class of 2022 graduate of AHS, was a gifted student, hard-working athlete, and very involved in extracurricular activities, especially as an FFA Chapter President. Nila was a friend to many and always willing to be there for others. Nila was an incredibly kind, vibrant person who was taken from her friends, family, and community far too soon.
We want to communicate that we are here for any support our school family and community may need. If your student is in need of support, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school counselor, Nicki Reissig. She is reachable at reissign@absarokee.k12.mt.us or 406-328-4583. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims, their families, friends, and the first-responders who have been impacted by this senseless tragedy.
Respectfully,
Absarokee School District Staff
