Our English department is proud that our school has led the state in the number of entries that have been accepted in the Missouri Youth'Writes program, and that for the past two years we have published our own booklet, BLUE HORIZONS. It is composed of some of the best classroom compositions from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Few of the surrounding high schools have such a creative writing booklet.
