Sharing is not caring when it comes to illness. Please keep your student at home should any of these symptoms develop, thank you! 🤒🌡️🤧 

Here are a few more pictures of our students enjoying the new Table Rock Career Center!










Yesterday, Wednesday, January 22, 2025, Dr. Rogers, Mrs. Mease, and Mrs. Mullins had the privilege of attending the official ribbon cutting and open house at the new Table Rock Career Center. As always, the best part was getting to see our students thrive. An additional bonus was learning that one of Crane R-III's former students, Mr. Alex Estes with DeWitt and Associates Inc, was the Project Superintendent, overseeing the entire build of TRCC from beginning to end. If that's not coming full circle, I don't know what is! It is awesome to see our students and former students doing great things!
