Celebrating St. E History!

We are updating the touchscreen display in our gym hallway with several new celebrations of St. Elizabeth’s storied history. To start, we are adding recognition for all state athletes, conference championships, 1,000-point scorers, and other individual honors.

To accomplish this, we have scoured old yearbooks, newspaper archives, websites, and other sources. However, with such a rich history, we are sure we may have missed a few things!

Please take a few minutes to look over the new site at the link below. If you see something we need to add, please email Mr. Hoecker at jhoecker@ste.k12.mo.us with the accomplishment as well as some form of confirmation (newspaper clipping, letterman's jacket patch, yearbook, etc.). We will review the information and get verified accomplishments added to the board.

We are excited to celebrate the many accomplishments of our students, past and present, and we appreciate your help in making sure we get it right!

Go Hornets!

Lady Hornets rebound with 13-0 win over Kirkwood. Taking on Willard next!

It was an intense offensive and defensive game for the JH Lady Hornets with the score close from 2nd quarter on. We were down by one for the last couple minutes of 4th quarter and were to have the ball. In a reverse call by refs, it went back to Dixon who held it for the last few seconds of the game. The JH Lady Hornets fell to Dixon 31-30 and end up 4th in the tournament. It was a really good game for our Hornets, even with the loss.

Congratulations to the JH Boys basketball team for winning the Consolation Championship at the Richland tournament. They defeated the Cuba Wildcats, 36-25!
