Scrubbed In for Learning! 🥼🐯🩻
Mrs. Engelbrecht’s third-grade classes scrubbed in for a unit review that transformed the room into a bustling ER!

St. James High School photography students explored Trinity Episcopal Church as their latest study in architectural design. They focused on the essentials that bring buildings to life through a lens, including lines, symmetry, texture, light, and perspective. It was a chance to practice seeing a familiar space the way a photographer does, noticing how every angle tells a different story.
One more way that Arts in Education enriches learning and inspires curiosity! #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride

Last week, 2nd-grade students visited Earth’s Classroom, where they learned about Missouri’s wild mammals and examined furs and skulls to see their unique adaptations up close. They also explored how Native American tribes used local resources through fire starting, home building, sign language, and twining activities.
This experience strengthened students’ Effective Communication skills as they listened closely, asked thoughtful questions, and shared what they learned with one another!
Thank you to our teachers for providing such a great learning experience!

St. James Middle School Careers students are mastering the art of first impressions! They explored the history of handshakes, their meaning today, and how to give a strong, confident handshake. Practicing this skill helps our Tigers build Effective Communication, a core value of our Portrait of a Graduate, preparing them to make meaningful connections now and in the future. #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride







Ms. Gunn’s Independent Living Skills class volunteers at the St. James Senior Center every Tuesday and Thursday.

Earlier this week, StuCo connected with student leaders from across the region and represented St. James as the secretary school for the district!

Ignite Your Leadership Light! ✨🐯❤️
A group of St. James High School students, along with Mrs. Hance, recently attended the Ignite Your Leadership Light Women's Conference in Rolla. The event brought together 200 women for a day of personal and professional development, networking with local leaders, interactive workshops, wellness activities, vision board goal-setting, and more.
Speakers shared inspiring insights on leadership and planning for the future, reflecting our Future Focused value from the Portrait of a Graduate! Our students left motivated and ready to take what they learned back to St. James High School and the wider community. #stjschools #tigerpride

Thanks to the Siders family for constructing the library box and helping make this initiative possible! #EngagedCitizenship #stjschools #tigerpride
