The FFA Banquet was held tonight and it was a wonderful evening celebrating the many accomplishments of our students. From service awards and leadership recognition to retiring officers, new officers, and honorary members, the night highlighted the strength of our National FFA Organization chapter. Presenting retiring jackets to the seniors is always a bittersweet moment as we honor their dedication and the memories they have made through FFA. A special thank you to Mrs. White for putting it all together and creating such a meaningful evening to recognize the FFA organization and its members.

The Tuscumbia Senior Class would like to give a big THANK YOU to The Home Depot in Osage Beach for generously donating charcoal for the Senior BBQs, and to the employees who kindly provided each student with a bag of goodies for Senior Trip. Your generosity and support mean so much to our seniors as they celebrate these special memories together. Thank you for investing in our students and community!
