We are incredibly proud of two of our talented archers who represented our school at the Missouri State Archery Championships in Branson on March 19th.

This is a huge accomplishment, and we are very proud of the way they represented Shell Knob School on the state stage.

6th grade visited Harter House for a career field trip. They learned there are many different types of jobs that fall under different career paths in a grocery store. For example, a creative job is decorating cakes. There are also jobs like meat cutters, shelf stockers, and cashiers that use different skills and interests.

7th grade went on a career field trip to MariCorp. They learned about many different jobs it takes to keep the company running, including sales, marketing, drafting, human resources, welding, and many more. No matter the position, though, the common skill that is needed is good communication skills.
Mark your calendars.

🌎✨ Exploring Green Careers in Science Class! ✨🌎
Our 7th and 8th grade students recently participated in an exciting 2-day livestream event focused on environmental and “green” career pathways! This event, "Green Pathways: Careers that Matter," aims to inspire middle school and high school students throughout the Midwest region to learn about the diverse and growing job opportunities in green careers.
Students heard from an inspiring keynote speaker who shared his personal journey of combining his passions to build a meaningful career. They also learned directly from park rangers, species recovery coordinators, and an environmental lobbyist about the many ways they can make a difference in our world. 🌿
One of the highlights of the day was the interactive workshop, “Blaze Your Own Trail: Find Your Path and Tell Your Story.” During this session, students reflected on their experiences, explored how their passions have developed over time, and identified valuable skills they can continue building for the future. They gained practical tools to grow their confidence, strengthen resumes and personal essays, and clearly communicate the positive impact they hope to make.
We are proud of our students for engaging thoughtfully in this opportunity and beginning to imagine the many paths ahead of them. The future is bright — and green! 💚🌱
