Club Day is a chance for teachers and students to connect. The staff at High Pointe started the program earlier this year and it slowly grew into something both students and teachers looked forward 🎉to each Wednesday. The clubs weren’t standard school clubs, they were clubs that both students and teachers could connect to personally. They ranged from a board game 🎲 club to a fixer-upper 🛠️club which made High Pointe a better place to work and learn 👐.

This has been a year that has had a major impact on our students, especially our senior class. While we see what plans for graduation will look like, we wanted to give you a chance to show your support to seniors by getting a yard sign honoring them.
You can order your yard sign by May 8 and then watch for the message on how you can pick up your sign in Nixa once they are printed. Thank you to 24 Hour Signs in Nixa for printing them.
Proceeds benefit Project Graduation.

Christian County Counts - Census Update
|
|
Christian County! We all pay taxes to the federal government (whether or not you are counted in the census). But the census determines how much of that federal money comes back to Christian County. If you want your tax dollars to come back to help our community, be sure to complete the census survey for your household!
Please take a few minutes to respond to the US Census. It has never been easier to respond on your own, whether
online
, over the
phone
or by
mail
— all without having to meet a census taker.
