Board Meeting Agenda for October 28th, 2026.

HS Soccer hosted Christian Fellowship of Columbia on Monday evening. The Tigers started the game pressuring the Knights with multiple early opportunities. They managed to get on the board just 10 minutes into the game when Trent Sawyer put a shot on goal which was deflected by the keeper. Wyatt Crawford battled for the loose ball and came out of the crowd with it and fed it back to Sawyer near the top right side of the box who once again hit a shot which this time found the back of the net near the far post. The Knights battled back and managed to get 2 goals to take a 1-2 lead into halftime. The second half saw opportunities for both teams, with the Knights managing a 3rd goal with just a few minutes left in the second half to give them the 1-3 win over the home team Tigers. Soccer will be back in action Friday at home vs. Southern Boone.

JH Soccer will begin the Kaysinger JH Soccer Tournament tonight in Smithton. The Tigers will be playing Smithton @ 5:30 p.m.

HS Soccer will be at home against Christian Fellowship with varsity starting first at 5:30 followed by JV. Good Luck Tigers!

Kindergarteners in Mrs. Sleeper’s room had a blast playing Musical Letters while practicing their letter identification skills! 💛💜 As the music played, students moved around the room, and when the music stopped, they identified the letter in front of them. Learning letters through movement, music, and play makes learning fun while helping build important early literacy skills! 📚✨

Great news! The power is back on, and we are proceeding with the rest of the day as normal!

No electricity - no problem! A big thank-you to our teachers and staff for thinking on their feet, improvising activities, and keeping our students engaged despite the unexpected challenges. Our students did a great job staying calm and making the best of the situation, too!

Hopefully, this unexpected start to the day turns into a memorable experience and a great story to tell.

Varsity soccer traveled to Sedalia Monday to take on Smith Cotton's JV team. GR got on the board first when Jack Hoos took a pass from Max Tylar and beat the defense before putting the ball past the keeper just about 7 minutes into the contest. SC managed to knot the score at 1 just before halftime. The second half found opportunities for both teams, but each promising attack ended without goal. After 80 minutes plus 2-10 minute OT periods the game went to PK's. SC came out on top 2-1 by converting all 5 of their shots. Reid Hagedorn, Tylar, and Hoos each made PK's. The Tigers are back in action at home on Thursday vs. Boonville after JH plays at 5.

Hs soccer is in action today at Smith Cotton starting at 5:00. Our varsity is playing their JV, followed by our JV playing their younger JV.

Our seniors “popped in” for dirty sodas and popcorn while taking important steps toward their future! Students applied to colleges, completed their portion of the FAFSA, and got started on the scholarship process. We’re so proud of them for making progress toward their postsecondary goals.

HS Volleyball will start their Kaysinger Conference tournament tonight in Cole Camp.

It was a great day at UCM FOR Green Ridge students. They had the opportunity to learn more about the teaching profession, explore education programs, and get a glimpse of what it’s like to be a MULE!

Thank you!

HS Soccer opened play in the Kaysinger tournament Monday night at SFCC vs. the LaMonte Vikings. The Tigers got on the board first when Jack Hoos sent a cross to Jaden Xiloj who settled the ball and buried it in the back of the net just over 8 minutes into the game. Play was back and forth for much of the first half. With just over 10 minutes left the Vikings got on the board to bring the score even at 1-1 which held up until halftime. The second half was again back and forth until just inside the 20 minute mark when Jordan Dixon found Hoos in the box with a pass who was able to beat the keeper and give the Tigers the lead back. Just under 5 minutes later Hoos took a ball from Ayden Patterson who had beat the defenders and once again found the net. The Tigers weren't done yet, with a little over 11 minutes remaining Dixon found Max Tylar making a run into the box and hit him with the pass. Tylar was fouled just as he was about to put the shot on and was awarded a penalty kick which he buried in the back of the net to give the Tigers the 4-1 lead. The Vikings were undeterred and managed 2 more goals in the closing minutes, but were unable to get bring it all the way back to a tie. With the win, GR advances to play the #1 seed Stover tonight at 5 again at SFCC. Come out and root on your Tigers as they try to reach the championship game!
