Dear St. James R-1 School District community,
We would like to introduce the newly sworn-in board of education members for our district. These individuals have taken on a crucial role in shaping the future of education in St. James, and we are grateful for their willingness to serve.
The newly elected board members are:
- Melanie Davis
- Jon Rapp
- Wes Gahr
Davis and Gahr will serve their first term on the board and this will be the second term for Rapp. We congratulate them on their election and look forward to working together to strengthen our mission of empowering our students through caring relationships, academic excellence, and community partnerships.
At the same time, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the outgoing board members, Larry Rinehart and Shalena Doss, for their dedication and commitment to our district. We appreciate all of the hard work they have put in over the years to make our schools a better place for our students.
