Dual Honors: PHS High School Diploma and Associate's Degree Graduates Congratulations to 16 Pacific High School students who will graduate on Sunday with a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts degree. These students attended the Early College Partnership (ECP) full-immersion, early entrance to college program located on the campus of St. Louis Community College (STLCC) at Wildwood. Students attend the ECP for two years, replacing the junior and senior years of traditional high school. While in ECP, students engage in a curriculum consisting of all college coursework taught by professors at STLCC. Upon successful completion, students earn an Associate of Arts degree, as well as a high school diploma. With a solid foundation in both high school and higher education, these individuals are poised to excel in their chosen careers and make significant contributions to their academic goals and beyond. Pacific High School students in good academic standing may apply during their sophomore and junior years. The application process opens in December for the following school year. Contact Dr. Flexsenhar, Director of Alternative Programs, at 636-334-4580 for more information.

Pacific High School Graduation is set for Sunday, May 19, 2024, at 6 PM in the PHS Stadium. Live stream will be available on the MVR-III YouTube channel at bit.ly/MVR3YT. #MVNation

It may have been delayed by weather for a week, but there was no stopping our MVR-III staff and students from participating in and celebrating the 7th Annual Special Education Field Day today. Established for special needs students across the district, the 2024 edition was coordinated by co-chairs Stacy Kloeppel, Cathy Bearden, Erin Tesar, and Jordan Garlik. Participants are matched with PHS student buddies, and they are free to experience stations on the stadium field for gross motor skills, sports, sensory areas, face painting, and much more. The outpouring of care and support from staff, students, volunteers, and sponsors makes #MVNation second to none! Video: https://youtu.be/0cyQdjLk5tg

Congratulations Peytan McKinney on her first-place finish in welding at the Missouri Skills competition that was held on April 5th at Linn Tech college. Peytan spent many hours preparing for the competition. Not only by creating her sculpture, which took 115 hours, but also by preparing many necessary items that help prepare her for life after high school. These items included mock job interviews, building a resume, and journaling her project throughout the process for her presentation binder. Peytan finished with a first-place title and received an invitation to attend SkillsUSA Nationals in June to represent Missouri in Atlanta Georgia. Courtesy of Carmen Akins
