Four years ago, the archery program at Nixa High School began. In that short time, the team has had success that only teams dream about. Last year, they won the Western National Archery Championship in Salt Lake City, Utah, beating 42 other JROTC teams from across the country. This year's team is motivated to follow up on that accomplishment with even more hardware.

Mathews Students 3D Print for Therapy 🤗 (opens in new window/tab)

Three years ago, Mathews Elementary acquired a 3D Printer. Librarian Emalie Lindsey started a club with interested 4th graders, who initially learned the basics of 3D printing. This past year, her club worked on projects that benefit students who need a little extra help with basic tasks. The results have been amazing as students learn to help others, and those who need help benefit from the new skills the children have learned.
