Varsity Track Scheduling Update
The MSHSAA calendar rolled in 24-25 meaning the corresponding date of the Truman State University meet should be April 22. After checking on the date of this year's event, I found out the meet is April 15, the same day as the Jerry Ball Relays at Highland. Obviously, we can't attend both meets, so we'll be attending the Truman State University meet with the hope of attending both again next year.
All City of Memphis Little League summer ball registrations are due to the elementary office or city hall by March 15.
The Basketball Banquet will be Thursday, March 13 at 6:00. Juniors and seniors, please provide a side dish. Freshmen and sophomores, please bring a dessert. Hope to see you Thursday.
Good afternoon. Parent Teacher conference for grades 7th through 12th will be held in the high school Thursday March 20th from 3:45 until 6:30. March 14th marks the end of the third quarter. Have a great evening!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
High School Senior Owen Brown Earns “Honorable Mention” in the 2025 Missouri Scholars 100 Program
Columbia, MO, March 6, 2025 – We proudly announce that high school senior Owen Brown from Scotland County R-1 Schools has been selected for "Honorable Mention" in the prestigious 2025 Missouri Scholars 100 program. This statewide initiative recognizes outstanding academic achievement, honoring Missouri's top 100 graduating students.
The announcement was made by Kirk Stott, Principal, Scotland County R-1 Schools, recognizing the student's exceptional commitment to academic excellence.
Sponsored by the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals, the Missouri Scholars 100 Program invites nominations from schools statewide. Selection is determined by a comprehensive formula incorporating the student's grade point average, ACT or SAT scores, and participation in an "Academic Decathlon" encompassing ten events that assess the student's academic prowess.
To qualify, students must meet stringent criteria, including a minimum GPA of 3.750, a minimum ACT score of 29 (or a minimum SAT score of 1,280), ranking in the upper ten percent of their class, and enrollment in high-level courses in mathematics, science, English, and foreign language. Exemplary attendance, outstanding citizenship, and active participation in school activities are also essential.
Clark Mershon, Executive Director of the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals, remarked, "The Missouri Scholars 100 Program stands as one of the premier academic recognition programs in the country, celebrating the dedication and success of students who have upheld the highest academic standards. It is a true celebration of learning."
This year marks the 31st Annual Missouri Scholars 100 recognition program, a testament to over three decades of honoring academic excellence. For further information, please get in touch with MoASSP at 573-445-5071.
