This is one of my favorite projects we do; I'm always dazzled by their creativity! Here are a few of their creations:

A message from Coach Wakefield-
HUGE shout out to these boys right here, yesterday we were in Mokane, Missouri for class 2 sectionals and ended up finishing 6th overall as a team. All seven sectional qualifiers will be advancing to state! I am so proud of each and every one of these boys for their tenacity to battle against all the odds and work towards their goals!
Next week we will be competing in Jefferson City in the following events:
Open 100- Lane Hinton
Open 400- Charlie Evans
Long Jump- Christopher Gaus
4x100- Charlie Evans, Christopher Gaus, Porter Peters, Lane Hinton
4x200- Charlie Evans, Christopher Gaus, Xavier Santiago (not pictured), Lane Hinton
4x400- Briscoe Post, Tyler Seals, Porter Peters, Charlie Evans
This truly has been a long time in the making, but I am sure they would agree that we are not done yet!!
Class of 2025 Seniors and Parents
Please Read the following about the Senior Field Trip To the Saint Louis Zoo tomorrow, Monday, May 19, 2025.
Due to storm damage at the STLU zoo we are waiting to determine if we can go the the zoo tomorrow in Saint Louis, MO. An announcement will be made in the morning.
If we cannot go to the STLU zoo in the morning we will re route to the Henson Robinson Zoo in Springfield, IL . The distance is similar and no change will be made to the departure/return times. We will still plan on leaving at 8:30 a.m. from Highland.
Again, We will make a determination in the morning on which zoo we will be going to tomorrow.
Thank you
