Ferguson-Florissant R-II touts student successes, notes about 7,400 students with no referrals
Summary
A speaker for the Ferguson-Florissant R-II School District summarized student achievements this year — from DECA and FBLA competitors to state-level wrestlers and spelling-bee finalists — and cited roughly 7,400 students with no disciplinary referrals.
The Ferguson-Florissant R-II School District reported broad student achievements this year, including competitors advancing to state-level contests, arts showcased in museums and local stages, and about 7,400 students recorded with no disciplinary referrals.
The district highlighted a range of successes across academics, career-technical programs and extracurriculars, saying trades-bound students are preparing for skilled careers, DECA and FBLA competitors advanced in business and leadership contests, and spelling-bee winners moved from regional rounds to state finals.
District representatives also noted athletic and arts accomplishments: wrestlers reached state championships, and student artwork has been exhibited in museums and presented on city stages. The district cited programs such as TRIO Upward Bound as helping students look ahead to college and career pathways. Attendance and classroom engagement were emphasized, with the statement that "showing up is the first step to success." The speaker added that students responded after "hurricane Hilleen," describing student actions as stepping up during the event.
The remarks framed these items as indicators of the district's broader instructional and engagement efforts, and closed by saying the district has "so much more to go." The presentation did not include specific dates for contests, exact funding sources for programs, or detailed counts beyond the cited 7,400 students with no referrals.
