Stanley County,
Today I put in my resignation to the administration for Head Football Coach at Stanley County effective following the conclusion of the 2026 season.
This decision has not been an easy one. Coaching has been an important part of my life for many years, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead, mentor, and build relationships with the young men who have represented our school and community.
Throughout my coaching career, I have always believed that our responsibility extends far beyond wins and losses. Football provides an opportunity to teach accountability, perseverance, discipline, and the importance of working toward something bigger than yourself. I hope the lessons our students have learned will serve them long after they are done playing.
As I enter a new chapter of my life, I recognize the importance of dedicating more of my time and energy to my growing family. My wife and children deserve the same commitment, passion, and presence that I have given to the young people I've coached.
I leave this position proud of the effort our players have given, the relationships we've built, and the experiences we've shared. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to serve this program and community. This decision is mine and mine alone. I have received nothing but care and support from our administration, Ms. Bracelin, and parents of students I've coached.
Thank you to the athletes, assistant coaches, families, and individuals who have supported me throughout this journey. I wish the Stanley County Football program nothing but success moving forward.
Sincerely,
Max Foth
Thank you, Coach Foth, for your time and dedication to the football program!
Don't miss out! The Free College Application Period continues through November 30.
Good luck to our Buffs and Lady Buffs competing this week! From FFA and volleyball to Oral Interp and All-State Chorus!
Please join us for the 2026 Stanley County Veterans Day Program!
Digital Citizenship Week – Thursday: Media Literacy & Digital Wellness!
PAUSE. QUESTION. DISCONNECT.
Not everything you see online is what it seems!
With artificial intelligence (AI), photos, videos, and even voices can be created or changed to look and sound real. Add in misleading headlines and social media posts, and it can be difficult to know what to believe.
Three reminders for students and families:
PAUSE: Before believing or reacting to something online, take a moment to think about what you're seeing.
QUESTION: Is the information coming from a reliable source? Could the picture or video be AI-generated, edited, or taken out of context? Check other trustworthy sources before believing or sharing it.
DISCONNECT: Not everything online deserves your time or attention. Take breaks from scrolling and make time for friends, family, hobbies, and activities away from screens.
Family Challenge: Find an unusual picture, video, or headline online and discuss whether it is real, edited, AI-generated, or misleading. Then spend some time together doing something without screens!
Parent Tip: Talk with your child about how technology and AI are changing what we see online. Encourage them to ask questions, check sources, and recognize when it's time to take a break.

Digital Citizenship Week – Wednesday: Privacy & Online Safety!
NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE SHARED!
Did you know that even a simple picture or social media post can reveal more information than you intended?
Whether students are gaming, texting, using social media, or exploring websites, protecting personal information is an important part of staying safe online.
A few reminders for students:
Keep passwords private, even from friends.
Think twice before sharing your address, phone number, location, or school schedule.
Be careful who you accept as a friend or follower.
Remember that pictures can reveal personal information in the background.
Avoid clicking unfamiliar links or responding to suspicious messages.
Family Challenge: Take five minutes tonight to review the privacy settings on an app, game, or social media account your child uses. Who can see their pictures, posts, and location?
Parent Tip: Keep conversations about online safety open and ongoing. Remind your child that if they encounter something uncomfortable, confusing, or concerning online, they can come to you for help and guidance.

Digital Citizenship Week – Tuesday: Online Kindness!
Whether you're texting, gaming, commenting on social media, or participating in a group chat, your words matter.
Something that seems funny to one person might be hurtful to someone else. Being a good digital citizen means treating others with the same kindness and respect online that we expect in person.
A few reminders for students:
Think before you type or share.
Don't participate in cyberbullying, even as a joke.
Include others and stand up for those being mistreated.
Remember that screenshots and messages can be shared beyond their intended audience.
Family Conversation Starter: If your child sees someone being bullied in a group chat, what could they do to help? Talk about when to speak up, when to leave the conversation, and when to involve a trusted adult.
