Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) 2022-2023 Middle-Level/Junior-High Sportsmanship/Citizenship Essay/PSA Contest
The MSHSAA essay and PSA production projects promote the development of written and multi-media production skills, while at the same time causing students to reflect upon the importance of sportsmanship, citizenship, and the role that leadership plays in our society.
Two MMA 8th-grade cadets received recognition from MSHSAA for their outstanding essays: Easton Nance and Harrison Pittman, who was also recognized as a district winner.
