It was a great week spent at baseball camp at Pacific High School. ⚾️
More than 85 campers brought incredible energy, enthusiasm, and effort each day as they worked on fundamentals, competed the right way, and enjoyed games throughout the week.
The future is bright for this outstanding group of young athletes, and we are excited to watch their continued growth both on and off the field.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s camp such a success!

Please see the statement below from the Meramec Valley R-III School District:
"Meramec Valley R-III School District officials are closely monitoring Franklin County Commissioner discussions regarding the diversion of potential tax revenue generated by proposed data center developments in Franklin County. This follows reporting by The Missourian that county commissioners are considering taking local MVR-III tax revenue generated by two proposed data centers and distributing it evenly throughout the entire county. This would include all school districts, ambulance districts, and fire districts in the communities of Washington, Union, St. Clair, Franklin County R-II, Lonedell, Spring Bluff, Strain-Japan, New Haven, and Sullivan.
If the projects move forward, the revenue generated within the Meramec Valley R-III School District boundary could potentially amount to millions of dollars over time. These funds could support educational programs, critical facility improvements, and expand student opportunities in the Meramec Valley R-III School District.
In addition, the potential increase in local MVR-III tax revenue from the data centers would allow the District to roll back its tax levy, providing savings to local MVR-III taxpayers.
“We're looking out for our MVR-III students,” said Superintendent Dr. Schwierjohn. “These data centers would impact our students, the roads our district buses travel, and the additional fire and ambulance needs within our community. The tax dollars from these data centers should therefore stay exclusively in the MVR-III community that is being asked to bear this burden, and possibly provide much-needed tax relief to our local taxpayers.”
As a public school district, MVR-III does not have a vote on where or whether the data center projects move forward. However, district administration is committed to engaging with local leaders and staying informed on the decisions that could have a significant impact on the MVR-III students and community.
We also encourage all Meramec Valley R-III School District residents to remain informed and direct concerns or questions to the city of Pacific mayor, alderman, and the Franklin County Commissioners regarding these community developments."

We encourage families to review bus expectations with their children, including arriving at the bus stop 5 minutes early, waiting in an orderly line, and following all driver instructions.
Community drivers can help, too. Please stay alert around school buses, maintain a safe distance, and always stop when red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.
Thank you for working together to help ensure a safe and efficient summer travel season.
