The Rolla Special Olympics Team is looking for Unified Partners. A Unified Partner is when we pair our athletes with high school buddies. These types of events are dedicated to promoting social inclusion and a way to build tolerance in schools. Training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. 

If you are interested in becoming a Unified Partner please stop by the A+ office, and pick up the form. If you have any other questions you can stop by the Counseling Center and see Mr Bridgeman.

 

Our track and Field event is at Waynesville HIgh School on April 10. We will return to school before the last bell. Lunch is provided.

I hope you will consider being a part of our team!

I just received an email from Going Merry notifying me that they will no longer be accepting applications for ANY scholarship beyond March 5th. All of their services will cease at that time.

What that means for you:

I am currently working to download all submitted applications and will be sharing them with those making the decision for each scholarship.

Please click the links to the McKay and Barnes Rotary applications above. Additional scholarships will continue to be posted in the "Other Scholarship Opportunities - 2026" Google sheet.

If you have any questions for Going Merry regarding this closing you can find the FAQs as well as contact information at:

I apologize for any inconvenience, but please know I am as blindsided as you are.

There have been several new scholarships from outside of school added to the spreadsheet. Several have quickly approaching deadlines.  

The Show-Me Scholars and Tech Masters program is a course of study that encourages students to pursue an education that better prepares them to enter a four-year college, community college, technical school, apprenticeship, military, or the workforce. The program is a joint effort of the Rolla Chamber of Commerce, Rolla Public Schools, and the local business community.

If you are going to graduate with at least a 2.0 GPA, have earned at least 3 credits in career based technical courses (RTI/C, Business or FACS), and meet a few other requirements, you might qualify for a $1,000 Show-Me Tech Master Scholarship! 

If you have completed a college-prep course of study, have a 2.0 GPA or higher, and have completed 50 hours of volunteer service (or A+ hours) during high school, you might qualify for a $1,000 Show Me Scholar Scholarship!!
