Senior Spotlight - Pa Vang
WHS Class of 2022


The home softball game scheduled for this evening has been moved to Schifferdecker Park in Joplin due to our wet field conditions. We will still play a doubleheader beginning at 5:30 and be the home team for both games. Go Bulldogs!

Last night a few of our staff members were recognized at the 23rd annual Celebration of Schools ceremony in Joplin.
Mrs. Holly Lacey and Miss Rebecca Davis were nominated by their peers as Teacher of the Year for the Wheaton R-III School District. Mrs. Lacey has 21 years total in education, 15 years at Wheaton. Miss Davis has 7 years total in education, 3 years at Wheaton. We are proud to have both of these teachers as part of our staff.
Mr. Gene Robinson and Body of Christ Church were chosen as our "Friends of Education" for all their generous donations to the school. Gene and his church have provided the school with school supplies, cleaning supplies, and much more! We are very thankful for everything he and the church have done for our school.
Please join us in congratulating our staff members!
