💙 Honoring a Legacy of Service 💙

Students at Minico High School in Mr. Travis Kent and Brent VanEvery’s class recently completed a beautiful memorative bench to honor the mother of Coleen Jones, District Transportation Director.

Coleen’s mother dedicated more than 50 years of service to the district as a school bus driver and transportation department employee. This bench stands as a lasting tribute to her commitment, hard work, and the countless students she supported over the decades.

We are incredibly proud of our students for their craftsmanship, compassion, and for helping preserve the legacy of those who have served our school community so faithfully. 💙🚌

One of the state’s premier wrestling tournaments is held each year right in our own backyard!

The Red Halverson Invitational—named after Minico High School’s first wrestling coach—has been a proud tradition since 1955. This year’s tournament will take place January 30–31, 2026, and will once again welcome athletes and spectators from across Idaho.

Beyond the competition, the tournament provides a significant economic boost to the Mini-Cassia communities, with visitors supporting local restaurants, hotels, fuel stations, and grocery stores—strengthening our local economy.

We’re excited to assist with preparations for this outstanding event and are incredibly grateful to the many volunteers who make it possible year after year. Your dedication keeps this tradition strong.

Who was Red Halverson?

Robert Carl “Red” Halverson (1933–1990) was a respected educator, coach, and community leader in Minidoka County.
He was the first wrestling coach at Minico High School, an influential figure in local schools during the late 1960s, and a man whose family continues to have strong roots in the Mini-Cassia communities today.

Red Halverson’s legacy lives on through this tournament, reflecting his passion for students, athletics, and community pride.
