Mental health is a growing concern in our community and our nation. We have enlisted the help of professionals at the Clark Center and Alternatives Employee Assistance Program to support staff. This is part of the employee benefits package. We thank our BOE members and leadership team for making mental health support a priority in our school district.

We have a special visitor in town! Dr. Hanson, a former Monett Superintendent, now in Pittsburg, KS, made a trip to Monett with Pittsburg Community Schools USD 250 colleagues to learn more about our GO CAPS program. Dr. Hanson, along with Dr. Jungmann, started the GO CAPS Program back in 2015.

Our Auto Technology Program received a generous donation from, Ann Spangler, granddaughter of Les Mason. Les established the Ford Dealership in Monett during the 1920's. Ann was in search of something to give back in honor of her grandfather who loved the Monett Community, so in his name she presented our Auto Tech Program with a $500 donation. These funds will be used to create a scholarship for one of our Auto Tech seniors. Thank you Ann for your generosity.
Congratulations to the 2020-2021 Cub Grant winners! Special recognition goes to Brad Hill, CLU, CHFC - State Farm Agent, for donating $3000, making the Cub Grants possible. The purpose of Cub Grants is to enhance teaching and learning at Monett Schools!
