We’re a rural school in southeast Missouri with a rich history in the Oak Ridge community and progressive ideas in the classroom. We care deeply about each and every student that enters our doors and are dedicated to ensuring their bright futures. Because we are smaller in size, we’re able to devote more attention to each student which helps them succeed academically and beyond.
