Our School Family Needs Your Prayers
Last night's tornado had a devastating impact on our school community. We're heartbroken to share that Superintendent Scott Blake, his family, including our librarian, Lynn Blake, and their children (who are also our students) lost their home.
We're grateful that the Blake family is safe, but we know the road to recovery will be long and challenging.
We ask that you join us in praying for the Blake family during this difficult time. Please lift them up as they navigate this crisis.
Your thoughts, prayers, and support mean the world to us.
We're exploring ways to provide additional support to the Blake family, including a potential fundraiser. We'll keep you updated on any developments.
Thank you for being an amazing school community!

A Tiger mauling on the Radio Justin Dee's had 29 points, and 12 rebounds to lead Marquand to a 77-28 win over St Paul Lutheran School in Farmington on Monday night. The game, which was broadcast on KFMO radio in Park Hills, was the 8th win of the season for the Tigers. Marquand led 25-12 after one with Dees scoring 18 of the first 25 points. The Tigers didn't look back, holding St Paul to only 1 point in the 4th quarter enroute to the win. Hayden Wolfe finished with 20 and Joshua Whitener had 12. MZ is scheduled to play Meadow Heights on Tuesday but due to inclement weather that game is likely going to be postponed. Final once again. Marquand 77, St Paul 28. Justin Dees was named KFMO/Little Caesar's Pizza player of the game. He received a certificate for a Free Pizza and a one of a kind t-shirt for his performance.
