Lion's Link #lionpride

As we end the 2025-26 school year, I want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who supported and helped us in so many ways this year. We always say, "It takes a village..." and nowhere is that truer than in this school. From parents and community members who show up for events, volunteer, send supplies, and are part of our supporting organizations, to our Board members and our community businesses--thank you all for doing what it takes to make this a great place for staff and students. We truly, truly could not do it without you.

Today may be an ending, but we are already deep into planning for next school year to continue to provide the best education and environment for our students. We look forward to continuing the partnership between this school and all of the stakeholders who are invested in our success. Thank you, and we'll see you soon!

Dr. Spencer

As we wrap up another incredible school year, we are proud of all that our students, staff, and families accomplished together as a Lions Pride school. Throughout the year, we celebrated academic success, student achievements, school spirit, and the strong support of our community. Our students worked hard, showed perseverance, and continued to grow both inside and outside the classroom. Thank you to our families and community members for your encouragement, support, and partnership throughout the year. It truly takes everyone working together to make our school such a special place for our students to learn, grow, and succeed. 🦁

Please join us this evening at 7:00 PM for Graduation as we celebrate the accomplishments of our Class of 2026 Seniors! 🎓🦁 If you are unable to attend this evening, you can use this link to watch. https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/schools/tuscumbia-high-school-tuscumbia-mo
