The NMCC High School Boys’ Basketball team has advanced to the Missouri Class 3 State Boys Basketball Championships. They will compete at the Great Southern Bank Arena, 685 S. John Q Hammons Pwy Springfield, MO 65807.
Because of this accomplishment, the New Madrid County R-1 School Board has graciously agreed to dismiss school on Thursday, March 9, 2023, at 1:15 PM and Friday all day so that students and community members can make travel arrangements to attend this great competition to support our athletes. This has traditionally been done so that all that want to attend may do so.
Those that want to attend the competition may buy tickets on the Missouri State High School Activities Association website. https://www.mshsaa.org/CMSPages/Tickets.aspx
More details will be released next week.
As part of MVATA and MCCTA's Legislative Day, Mr. Hunziker and Mrs. Harris met with Representative Donnie Brown and Representative Cameron Parker. We were able to discuss our Agricultural and CTE programs with them. It was a great meeting and we look forward to continue working with them.
Congratulations to Dylan Murphy and Hunter Lawfield! They recently attended the American Welding Academy's competition at Union, MO. Both received a $1,000 scholarship toward their future training. Way to go!!

NMCR1 Tech Skills: $400,000 Grant!
Important upgrades to NMCR1 Tech Skills Center will continue thanks to a $400,000 grant that will provide long-overdue air-conditioning for 4 TSC shops (auto mech, welding, ag, & carpentry). This grant will be combined with a previously awarded grant (DRA) to replace ALL A-pod rolltop garage doors (circa 1971) with new, industrial, insulated panel doors and openers.
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has awarded several Missouri Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs including New Madrid County R-I Technical Skills Center ($400,000.00) with grant dollars to further support the important work that these programs do to ensure all Missouri students are prepared for success upon graduation and further contribute to developing Missouri’s workforce.
Missouri’s Area Career Center Opportunity (MACCO) Grant provides funding to enhance the state’s CTE capacity by providing more opportunities for CTE students while updating and modernizing career centers’ infrastructure and equipment.
MACCO is funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (APRA) and grants local education agencies (LEAs) up to $400,000 to:
Create new high-demand and emerging programs
Construct a new area career center building
Renovate or build an addition to an existing area career center
Update or expand current CTE programs
Improve infrastructure for safety and equipment needs
Upgrade equipment and instructional technology
The grant’s funds must be used to enhance or extend area career centers’ capacities to increase students’ knowledge and skills needed to gain employment in current or emerging fields, continuing their education, or re-training for new business and industry opportunities. The grant required LEAs to submit an application and match 25 percent of the awarded MACCO funds.
NMCR1 appreciates this support as we continue to provide a viable technical skills program!
Phone systems have been restored to all NMCR1 buildings. Thank you for your patience.
