Fall Sweethearts Dance 2025 ~ A huge thank you to our National Honor Society members and Mrs. Hamilton for hosting such a wonderful evening! The gym was full of smiles, twinkle lights, and memories that will last a lifetime. We had lots of great pictures so it was hard to choose which ones to share, but we hope you enjoy taking a look at all those smiling faces.

Our specials teachers work with a vast array of ages and learners. Ms. B, our technology, computer, and business teacher works with students in 3-5th grade, 7th & 8th grade, as well as 10-12th grade. In her classes they learn many topics such as typing and tech skills as well as tackle real-world personal finance problems. Students learn things like teamwork, problem solving, graphic design and even advertising, budgeting, loans, and investing, You might see her middle and high schoolers create flyers for our social media channels, capture photos at school and events, and also work on building our yearbook. And when you see our school stories online? That’s Ms. B posting as often as we can to keep our community connected, tso you can get a small glimpse into the amazing things our teachers and students do each and every day!
This week our bus drivers and Transportation Director/HS Principal Mrs. Woody led bus safety and evacuation drills with all of our students, PreK–12. Students practiced what to do in case of an emergency, with our older Tigers learning how they could step up and help the younger ones get out safely if needed. It was a great reminder that safety comes first on and off the bus! And yes… it just happened to be Pajama Day, so don’t be surprised when you spot a lot of plaid pants and cozy PJs in the pictures! #TigerPride #BusSafety #Teamwork #WGStrong

A big thank you to Paul Mueller Company in Springfield for hosting our students last week! Ms. Mueller, our RootEd advisor, took students on a tour to see firsthand how Mueller designs and manufactures world-class stainless steel equipment that serves industries from dairy and brewing to pharmaceuticals and beyond. What a great opportunity for our students to connect classroom learning with real-world innovation and career possibilities right here in Missouri!
