K9 Bubka

Warsaw Community High School

We’re kicking off our very first Tiger Tuesday of the school year by celebrating a very special retirement, K9 Bubka from the Warsaw Police Department!

After 10 years of service to the City of Warsaw and Warsaw Community Schools, 13-year-old narcotics dog Bubka is officially retiring after spending his final years patrolling the halls of Warsaw Community High School.

More than just a K9 officer, Bubka brough smiles and comfort wherever he went. His presence helped pave the way for therapy dogs in our schools. At a special retirement ceremony, Superintendent Dr. David Hoffert presented Bubka with a well-deserved retirement bone—one nearly as big as Bubka himself!

Thank you, Bubka, for your years of loyalty, service, and the joy you brought to WCS. What an incredible way to start our Tiger Tuesday recognitions for the year!
 

What is Tiger Tuesday?

Glad you asked! Every two weeks, Warsaw Community Schools unites in their Tiger Tuesday shirts and we take the time to surprise and celebrate an individual who unites others.

Recipients are honored with a small gift, a video highlight, and the joy of being recognized in front of their peers. These moments shine a spotlight on those who go above and beyond to bring people together, support others, and spread positive energy across our schools.
