We’re so proud to celebrate our fall and winter sports teams for earning MSHSAA Academic Achievement honors! These student-athletes are proving that hard work pays off in every arena — not just in competition, but in the classroom too. Way to go, Tigers! You're setting the standard for all!


Dr. Smentkowski accompanied a couple of his orchestra students to his festival in Italy. Lena Hart (sophomore starting in the fall) and Isaiah Dunavan (incoming freshman) have been participating in it! He said "They’ve been handling the trip and all their responsibilities like rock stars and they’re making friends every day." What an amazing experience for our students.




We’re thrilled to celebrate five incredibly talented students who were selected to perform in the prestigious Missouri Honor Choir for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, showcasing the top young vocalists in the state!
