MHS students kicked off our first college group visit to the University of Missouri!
Students participated in an admissions presentation where they learned more about Mizzou, life in Columbia, and what it’s like to be a college student on campus. They also enjoyed a walking tour of campus and got a firsthand look at the opportunities and experiences Mizzou has to offer.
We love giving our students the chance to explore college campuses and picture themselves in their next chapter!
Mizzou offers a world-class education close to home!

A big thank you and shout-out to Missouri State Trooper Blaine Stark for being our very first Career Chat of the year!
Trooper Stark did a fantastic job talking with interested students about the exciting opportunities and career paths available in law enforcement. Students had the opportunity to ask questions, learn more about what a career in law enforcement looks like, and even check out his patrol car and some of his gear!
We appreciate Trooper Stark taking the time to connect with our students and give them a firsthand look at the possibilities that await them after high school!

Marshall High School was excited to welcome back Foster Huggins to help us reveal this year’s Mental Health Theme: Back to Basics!
Foster shared an inspiring message of resilience, hope, and perseverance, reminding our students that even through life’s challenges, your life matters and your story is worth continuing.
We are grateful for Foster’s powerful message and for helping Marshall High School kick off another year of focusing on what matters most—taking care of ourselves, supporting one another, and remembering that every life has value.

Marshall to Officially Join Midland Empire Conference for 2028-2029 School Year
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: 4/9/2026
Contact: Caleb Petet, Superintendent, cpetet@marshallowls.com, 660-886-7414
Midland Empire Conference Announces Expansion and Two-Division Alignment Beginning 2028–2029
The Midland Empire Conference (MEC) is pleased to announce that Marshall Public Schools, Moberly School District, Mexico Public Schools, and Kirksville R-III School District will join the conference beginning with the 2028–2029 school year.
This expansion will establish a new two-division structure designed to enhance competitive balance, strengthen regional rivalries, and improve travel efficiency for student-athletes and activity participants. The two-division model reflects the conference’s long-term commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for students while supporting the logistical realities schools face in scheduling and transportation.
Conference Divisions (Effective 2028–2029)
East Division
● Chillicothe
● Kirksville
● Marshall
● Mexico
● Moberly
West Division
● Benton
● Bishop LeBlond
● Cameron
● Excelsior Springs
● Maryville
● Savannah
The decision to expand follows discussion and support from member schools during the MEC Board of Controls process. At the Board of Controls meeting on Thursday, April 9, conference members expressed strong support for adding Marshall, Moberly, Mexico, and Kirksville, noting that their inclusion would strengthen long-term conference stability and student opportunities and aligns with conference priorities such as competitive balance, geography, and travel considerations.
The MEC’s two-division alignment is intended to prioritize divisional scheduling, reduce midweek travel demands, and maintain a strong conference identity through selected cross-division contests and potential championship-style formats. This approach mirrors the goals outlined by the four incoming districts in their membership proposal, emphasizing travel efficiency, community engagement, and sustainable conference growth.
Additional implementation details—including activity-by-activity scheduling alignment, governance expectations, and transition planning—will be coordinated collaboratively among member districts in advance of the 2028–2029 start date.
