Meet MVR-III alum Dustin Walsh, Class of 2004. 🎓
Dustin works in real estate in Pacific, Missouri, and is most proud of starting and maintaining a business in his hometown.
Dustin says MVR-III helped lay the foundation for who he is today by teaching him the importance of hard work, responsibility, and building relationships. He remembers teachers and staff who genuinely cared about their students and encouraged them to challenge themselves. Those experiences helped prepare him to communicate with people from all walks of life, solve problems, and adapt to new situations, skills that have been invaluable in his career as a real estate professional and in everyday life.
One of Dustin's favorite memories is attending pep rallies, which he says were always a blast, along with spending time hanging out with friends.
His advice for current students: Get involved, meet new people, and don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. Work hard, treat people with respect, and most importantly, enjoy the journey. High school goes by much faster than you think.

Robertsville Elementary 4th graders put their science learning into action! 🔬
Students explored how humans have internal and external structures that work together to support survival. They took their learning a step further by creating paper models of human fingers to demonstrate how the structures inside our hands help control movement.
This hands-on activity brought science to life and gave students a fun way to see how the structures in our bodies work together!
