Monett Middle School

Mark your calendar! The 2022 Monett Middle School Engineering Fair will be on Friday, March 18th, at the Monett Middle School gym from 5:00-9:00 pm. Our MMS students are excited to present their projects.

It's National FFA (Future Farmers of America) Week! Students and staff are celebrating by dressing up each day. Here are a few photos from this week.

Last week, our 8th graders had the opportunity to tour EFCO Corporation, Jack Henry & Associates Airport, Life360 building, and the Monett Police Department, as part of the Aspire Academy. The Aspire Academy is a one-day interactive experience for middle school students promoting leadership, professionalism, and career exploration. The day was comprised of business tours that allowed our local professionals to share with students some of the jobs available and skills that are important to be successful.

Congratulations to the 7th and 8th grade students pictured below for being selected into the Southwest Missouri Educators Junior High District Band!
