Meet Jorja King – Class of 2026!
The MFA Oil Foundation has awarded a grant to the Alton R-IV School District to assist with purchasing a wedger/slicer and a 12-crate milk cooler for the Alton Elementary kitchen. The MFA Oil Foundation provides support to nonprofit organizations that are working to improve communities where MFA Oil has a significant concentration of members and employees. Since it was established in 1988, the MFA Oil Foundation has awarded more than three million dollars in grants. Thank you, MFA Oil, and thank you to Amber Sisco for her hard work in applying for this grant!!
We are so proud of our three talented students — Bently Ferraro, Shayla Smith, and Paisley Stubbs — who participated in the SCMMEA Junior High Honor Band this Saturday!
They did an outstanding job representing our school alongside other talented band students from across southern Missouri. Their hard work, dedication, and passion for music truly shone.
Great job, Bently, Shayla, and Paisley! 🎺🥁🎷

🎶 Congratulations, Rylee Barton! 🎶
This past Saturday, November 1st, Junior Rylee Barton represented Alton High School at the South Central Missouri Music Educators Association All-District 11–12th Grade Choir held at Evangel University in Springfield.
Rylee joined approximately 200 talented students from across the district for a full day of rehearsals and concluded the event with a beautiful concert performance. The music was challenging, but the choir put in a lot of work and did a fantastic job!
A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Deckard, Mrs. Kasey, and Teddy! Mrs. Jesse's class earned a popcorn party for good behavior and kindness so Teddy, Mrs. Kasey and Mrs. Deckard demonstrated how to make popcorn to Mrs. Jesse's class with the popcorn machine. Afterwards, Mrs. Jesse's class enjoyed some tasty popcorn given out by Teddy! Thank you Teddy, Mrs. Deckard, and Mrs. Kasey!
