Each year, Webster Electric holds an essay contest for juniors. Two are chosen to represent the area. Ashleigh Vestal won the contest and was chosen to represent our area at the Youth Tour Conference in which she will first spend a couple days in Jefferson City and then enjoy an all-expense paid trip to tour Washington DC!

While elementary testing is underway, our secondary state assessments begin next week!

Please remember, students are able to do their best on assessments when they have a full night's rest and a full meal to jump start their day.

Any questions about our assessment series can be directed to Dr. Ravens, our curriculum director, at sravens@nianguaschools.com or Mr. Davis, our secondary counselor, at jdavis@nianguaschools.com
