Messmer Hosts Inaugural 2024 Open House: A Taste of Messmer Messmer High School proudly held its first Open House: A Taste of Messmer, showcasing its nearly 100-year legacy. The event was broadcast on social media, in addition, people heard Messmer students talk about the event via ads on V100.7 and Jammin 98.3. As a result, the event drew over 450-current and prospective students, families, and alumni to explore Messmers offerings, with Student Ambassadors guiding personalized tours. A lively vendor area featured businesses owned by Messmer alumni and organizations offering community resources. The food trucks along Capitol Drive added flavor, offering local favorites. One of the events highlights was the Ol-Skool vs. Nu-Skool alumni basketball game, organized by Walter Cullin (05), Vic Sloan (05), and Messmers boys basketball coach, Ben Hailey. The Nu-Skool team claimed victory, leaving the Ol-Skool team playfully asking, Wheres the oxygen? Vic commented, Congratulations on another successful event. This was a good look for Messmer. Walt added, The engagement was crazy! The atmosphere was electric! This was beautiful! With music provided by Jammin 98.3 the event celebrated Messmers strong community connections and commitment to student success.
