PWHS DECA: Making a Difference in Our Community!
Our PWHS DECA students have been busy meeting over the past few weeks and getting ready for an exciting year ahead!
As part of Wisconsin DECA’s partnership with Color A Smile, our students rolled up their sleeves and colored more than 100 coloring pages! Color A Smile is a nonprofit organization that shares cheerful drawings with senior citizens, troops overseas, and others who could use a little extra happiness. We are proud of our DECA students for spreading kindness, one coloring page at a time!
Our DECA leaders are also hard at work coordinating the upcoming Trick-or-Can event! This Saturday from 4–7 PM, PWHS students will be collecting canned goods to benefit the Port Washington Food Pantry.
Please consider donating canned goods to help support local families in our community. Every donation makes a difference!
Thank you to our PWHS DECA students for their generosity, leadership, and commitment to giving back. We can't wait to see what else they accomplish this year!

REGIONAL CHAMPS!
For the first time since 2009 the PW Boys Soccer team has won regionals by taking down Grafton after falling behind 1-0 mid first half. Senior Kalin Mundt tucked home the tying goal late in the first half off a great assist from Scotty Bennett.
The boys turned it on to start the second half scoring 3 times in 3 minutes to take a lead they’d never relinquish. Goals from Brady Knous, Bennett Walter, and a banger from Tyson Blum sealed it.
The boys will be moving on to Sectionals for the first time since being led by legendary coach, Mike Bultman, 17 seasons ago.

Hello Pirate Families,
With winter sports starting soon, we wanted to send a quick reminder about our new online athletic registration process through Arbiter Registration.
As a reminder, we will no longer be accepting paper athletic forms for new registrations. Please review the information below to make sure your student is ready for the upcoming winter season.
Have You Already Turned In Your Athletic Paperwork?
If you have already submitted all required athletic paperwork for the 2026-27 school year, you do not need to do anything else this year! You do not need to register your student through Arbiter Registration at this time.
However, if your student has not yet submitted their required athletic paperwork for this school year, you will need to complete their registration online before they can participate.
Winter Sports Practice Start Dates
November 9: Girls Basketball and Gymnastics
November 16: Boys Basketball, Boys Swim & Dive, and Wrestling
Please make sure your student is registered and cleared to participate before their first day of practice.
How to Register Through Arbiter
If you still need to complete your student's athletic registration, visit the link below:
https://students.arbitersports.com/organizations/port-washington-high-school-middle-school
You will need to upload a copy of your student's most recent sports physical as part of the registration process. This is required regardless of whether your student is due for a new physical or is completing an alternate-year form.
If you need a copy of your student's most recent physical, please have them stop by and see Mrs. Daniels in the Main Office.
Need Help With Registration?
If you have questions or need assistance with your Arbiter account, please contact Arbiter Support directly:
Phone: 1-800-311-4060
Email: registration@arbitersports.com
Please note that our High School Main Office staff do not have access to family Arbiter accounts and cannot assist with account or technical issues.
Looking ahead, beginning with the 2027-28 school year, all student-athletes will be required to register online through Arbiter Registration, even if they have previously submitted paper athletic forms.
We appreciate your patience and support as we transition to this new system. We are excited about the improvements it will bring to our athletic registration process!
Thank you, and Go Pirates!
