📣Special Announcement📣
Kelso C-7 is filled with pride and excitement as we share that Mrs. Stacy Creech has been named one of only five finalists in the entire state for the Missouri School Counselor Association’s Counselor of the Year award.
Mrs. Creech pours her heart into supporting our students and families every single day. Her care, compassion, and dedication shine through in everything she does. Whether she is guiding students through challenges to celebrating their successes, she gives everything she has.
In November, she will be honored at the MSCA statewide conference, and we couldn’t be more proud. This recognition is a reflection of the difference she makes in the lives of our Kelso C-7 community.
CONGRATULATIONS, Mrs. Creech! We are so thankful for you!
