During National Civics Week, our students had the opportunity to hear from our Lewis County Sheriff, David Parrish, who shared about his work as a civic leader and how students can partner with local law enforcement to support their communities.
A small group of students also interviewed him, asking thoughtful questions about concerns they see in their communities. This experience allowed students to practice our durable skills of communication and critical thinking while learning how civic engagement makes a difference.
Thank you to the Lewis County Sheriff for visiting and speaking with our students!

This morning Highland Elementary was full of smiles as our PTO hosted Donuts with Grownups for our Kindergarten and 1st Grade students! 🍩
We had a wonderful turnout and it was great to see so many families spending time together before the school day began. Moments like these help make our school community so special.
A big thank you to everyone who came out to join us, and a special thank you to our Highland Elementary PTO for planning and working the event. Your time and effort make experiences like this possible for our students.
We’d also like to thank our faculty and staff who helped make the morning run smoothly by parking off campus to help ease parking concerns for our guests.
It was a great morning at Highland! 💙

3/5/26 Highland's Quiz Bowl Team took on Monroe City and was victorious in a real barnburner in the J.V. match 170-160. In the Varsity match the Highland Squad lead at the half by the score of 120-100 but the 2nd half was a different story as the more veteran team from Monroe City pulled away in a decisive victory 260-150. Our young team is in a lot of matches but we need to learn to finish the Varsity games strong. Go Highland!!!

Parents! If your student is interested in a 2 year associate degree, community college as a stepping stone to their bachelor's degree, or a multitude of different certificate programs, MACC is a great option. We will be traveling to MACC-Moberly on Monday, March 16th to visit their campus and meet with their admissions team. Please help remind your student to sign up and grab a permission slip to turn in no later than next Friday, March 13th! This is a great opportunity to visit their main campus without costing their attendance.

Final from Hannibal, Lady Cougars come up short, 47-43. Not the outcome we wanted but the opportunity our girls deserved.
Thank you Lady Cougars for a season for the ages. Forever in MSHSAA history and always in our heart. You gave it your all and took them to the limit. We are beyond proud!
Thank you Lewis Co., Hannibal School district, NEMO, and the Tri-State area! You showed up for our ladies in a big way.
