🎉 Work-Based Learning Success! 🎉
Senior Jacob Vocke was struggling to find employment, but with the help of secretary Jenn Timmons, he was connected with Rural King which perfectly aligns with his interests and job skills. Jacob is now thriving as a Recovery Associate in the Farm and Animal Department!
He is well on his way in this success story and has already logged over 500 hours at his job placement. 💪
Even more impressive—year to date, our Work-Based Learning students in NW FFA have earned over $180,000!

🌟 Student Highlight & Community Partnership Shoutout 🌟
Our FFA students have had an incredible experience building real-world job skills thanks to the support of community members Wayne Foster and Nick Wolf. Wayne has served as our lead mechanical skills instructor, while Nick has shared his expertise in welding. Their knowledge and dedication have made a lasting impact on our students.
With their guidance, Landon Dubie, Phil Boles, Landon Tipps, and Alex Woolf competed at the State Ag Mechanics Career Development Event. The team earned an impressive 17th-place finish in the state, and individually, Landon Dubie placed 22nd overall.
Well done, gentlemen and a huge thank-you to Wayne and Nick for investing your time and talent into this team. Career readiness starts here! 🔧👏

During Military Week, students across the district are recognizing the service and commitment of military families.
Yesterday, one student chose to represent her favorite branch of the military in honor of her mom. A simple but meaningful way to show pride and appreciation. 🇺🇸
We’re grateful for the service and sacrifice of the families in our community.

🎈 STEM 8 Is Taking Off!
Our new Junior High STEM 8 class is reaching new heights as students explore the science of air and space. Mr. Lindsay worked with Maddox and Ale as they designed and tested their own hot air balloon.
By heating the air inside the balloon, students saw how expanding air becomes less dense than the cooler air around it—creating the buoyant force that lifts the balloon into the sky!
Hands-on learning + real science = ideas that soar! 🚀 Powered by Springfield-Clark CTC, this class is one of 20+ classes available to students in partnership with Springfield-Clark CTC!

At the monthly school board meetings, we are recognizing students for their achievements. Teachers and staff members are nominating students for their academics, behavior, leadership, teamwork, work ethic, outstanding performances in a particular academic area, etc. Elementary Principal, Mr. Everhart recognized our incredible ROX program this month.
We are so proud of the hard work, growth, and confidence our students continue to build through ROX (Ruling Our eXperiences). This program empowers our young women to develop leadership skills, strengthen relationships, and believe in their voices—and it shows every day!
Thank you to our dedicated advisors and amazing students for making this program such a success. Keep leading, inspiring, and lifting each other up! 💪✨
