Ella Philyaw was nominated for the Army Value Leadership Award for RESPECT. The nominating teacher chose Ella because: "Ella is kind and respectful to everyone she encounters. She treats everyone like they matter, she does this by taking the time to speak, even if it's something as simple as "good morning". Ella always makes great eye contact and pays attention in class. She's an excellent example to her peers."
We appreciate our ongoing partnership with the Phelps County Sheriff's Department, Corporal EJ Scheel, and his canine, Hondo in helping keep St. James High School safe and drug-free. Thank you for supporting our commitment to providing a healthy, safe learning environment for all students!

Echo Barnes is our cadet in the Elementary Counseling Office, and is the hardest working kid we have ever had. She makes bags for our food bag program and is always looking for ways to do more. She is positive, driven, very organized, and shows empathy to the students that pass through.
Attention St. James Families:
A host family is needed for an Exchange Student currently enrolled in the St. James School District. Below is an audio introduction of the student, Youseff. If you are interested hosting him, then contact Dr. Greg Harlan at the St. James High School. In the event Youseff is unable to find a host family within the next few days, he will be moving to another school in hopes of being matched with a family.

Our students participated in various engaging workshops, including STEM, college planning, and personal growth work. We appreciate the effort that Dr. Gillis and her team at MS&T put forth in this workshop each year!
