Woonsocket Community:
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Michael Schmitz. I will be the new 4th grade teacher in Woonsocket and the Head Football Coach for the Blackhawks. I graduated from Brandon, South Dakota. I attended the University of Sioux Falls with a degree in Elementary Education. I have been married for twenty years to the 2nd grade ESL teacher in the Huron district. I have taught for twenty one years in kindergarten, 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th and 8th grade science and social studies. I am very excited to be a part of Woonsocket and the community. I look forward to meeting everyone and getting to work.

Blackhawk Football Update
Blackhawk Nation,
I wanted to take this time to introduce myself. I am originally from Brandon, South Dakota and attended the University of Sioux Falls. I have been married for over twenty years to my wonderful wife Joselyn. I have coached and taught for twenty plus years at various levels. I have experienced coaching at Huron, Aberdeen Central, Leola Frederick, and Eagle Butte. I have coached various positions on the field, including defensive line, secondary, quarterbacks, offensive line, and wide receivers. I have been able to learn from great coaches along my journey. As the Head Coach in Huron I was able to lead the tiger to the 11AA Championship game. I am very excited to be a part of the Blackhawk family and look forward to seeing the journey we have in front of us. I will be setting up a player and parent meeting in the next week or two. I am working on our summer schedule and summer workouts as we speak and I will get that out to everyone as soon as I can.
