Edgemont Moguls are blessed to have many fun traditions that have been passed from year to year. Our traditions set us apart from a world that continues to conform and institutionalize our holidays and practices. They help a make a Mogul. Some of our favorite traditions include:
- Seniors spray painting their names on the Football Field at Homecoming
- Freshmen painting the “E”
- Burning of the “E”
- Elementary Halloween Parade through the school
- Formal Christmas concerts
- Finding the runaway gingerbread men in Elementary Spanish
- Cooking with the Kindergartners
- Passing the Mogul Throne to the next lucky recipient
- Seniors passing out flowers to their family and friends and graduation
- Reading Dr. Seuss for Read Across America Week
- Pop-sickles on the first and last day of school
Each tradition we partake in remind us that we are uniquely Mogul. We take pride in our traditions and will continue to practice them into the future in hopes of fostering the next generation of Moguls.
Do you have a favorite Edgemont Mogul tradition?
Edgemont has amazing athletes. We are so proud of all the hard work they and their coaches put into the game each season. Win or lose, we know that our students leave better people after finishing a sports season. Check out the video below of former Edgemont graduate and two time Track State Champion, Morgan Peterson, Class of 2022. We might be a small school but we are mighty.
Come watch our girls basketball team play December 19 at Noon. Also, check out the boys and girls basketball team on December 30 at Buffalo at Noon.

To celebrate our third day of Mogul Christmas we would like to recognize Edgemont's awesome FFA Chapter. Under the guidance of our ambitious FFA Advisor, Brady Joseph, our chapter has grown since its inaugural year and our students continue to further their knowledge of agriculture science all while making lifelong friends along the way. A new addition to the curriculum this year is Food Science and it is fun to see students in the Home Economics room practicing their newfound skills.
Also, the Edgemont FFA invites you to their Second Annual Dodgeball Tournament this Saturday. Six man teams are invited to enter for $25. The tournament takes place at noon in the Edgemont Gym. There will also be a $5 Taco Bar. We hope to see you there!
The Edgemont FFA is grateful for the outpouring of support our community has shown them. The Edgemont FFA wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I am so sorry for the late notice, but we are going to postpone our elementary concert that was scheduled for tonight until Monday, December 19 at 6:30.
Stay safe and stay warm!
We’re on the second day of our 12 Days of Mogul Christmas. Each day we will share another reason why Edgemont Moguls are awesome. Today we will focus on art because we have a lot of great Mogul artists both past and present. Mrs. Cortney, our talented art teacher, always has a new challenge for her learners and one of her recent endeavors required the elementary students to draw their teachers. Needless to say, the drawings have been a hit with both teachers and students. Check them out below. Remember to check out student art at the upcoming Fine Arts Fair on April 3, 2023.
Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.
— Winston Churchill.

To celebrate the 12 days until Christmas we are going to feature 12 reasons it’s awesome to be a Mogul. Each day will feature a different aspect of what makes Moguls great. Today we celebrate the language learning that happens everyday in Edgemont Schools. Students k-12 have access to Spanish classes and new this year we have American Sign Language available to Middle School students. Furthermore, one of our seniors, Bridget Neville, is learning American Sign Language for her Senior Project and is working with the school of the Deaf. We are proud of Edgemont students past and present and love to see where their love of learning languages will take them!
To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world.
