In celebration of students achieving academic growth and excellence in Joplin Schools, the district is rebooting Academic All-Stars!

Six ceremonies will be held:

     East Middle School students: Monday, April 3 @ East Middle School 
     North Middle School students: Thursday, April 6 @ North Middle School
     East Elementary zone students: Monday, April 10 @ East Middle School
     North Elementary zone students: Tuesday, April 11 @ North Middle School
     South Middle School students: Wednesday, April 12 @ South Middle School
     South Elementary zone students: Thursday, April 13 @ South Middle School

Students in fourth through eighth grades who earned Advanced, Proficient or growth scores on Missouri Achievement Program (MAP) tests in the previous academic year have been invited to ceremonies based on their grade level and attendance zone. The events are invite-only, and will consist of a dessert reception followed by an awards ceremony. Students being recognized at the ceremonies will receive a certificate and a medal, and can be joined by up to two guests each. Nearly 1,450 students are expected to be awarded Academic All-Stars recognition this year!

High school students whose MAP and End-of-Course (EOC) results demonstrate Advanced, Proficient, or growth scores will be recognized in a different format at Joplin High School later this year.

Thank you to our Academic All-Stars sponsors: TAMKO, Inc. and Missouri American Water.
