Missouri Supreme Court Chief Justice Mary Russell and Clerk of the Missouri Supreme Court Betsy Ledgerwood, a 1993 graduate of Alton High School, recently spoke with Mr. Cockrum's 8th grade Social Studies students about the role of the Judiciary Branch of government. Students had the opportunity to step into the role of judge as they attempted to constitutionally interpret the legislative intent of a state statute.

Next week, April 14th, our Junior High will begin MAP Grade Level testing for two weeks. Our high school students will follow with their End of Course Assessments. Students in Junior High had a pep rally yesterday to kick things off! Students were given the schedule and a rubric of how they will be graded each day on their effort. Please help your child excel on the test by:
*Making sure they get a good night's rest the night before testing.
*Making time for a healthy breakfast the morning of testing.
*Making sure they are here at school every day of testing at 8:00 a.m.
*Encourage them to give their best effort.
We are excited for students to show what they know and make Comet country proud!
