S/O and Thank You to the O'Fallon Chamber of Commerce and Industries who helped our teachers start their Professional Development Day with warm smiles and hot coffee! It was a great way to get 2025-2026 underway.
The day was built for our New Educators, but our students stole the show when they introduced our new Superintendent, Dr. Henry St. Pierre, and our Educator of the Year, Krystal Deterding, who teaches Special Education at South Middle.
Meet our new team members in our FB and Insta stories.
We look forward to seeing our all of our staff back at school Monday as we put the final preparations in place for the 2025-2026 school year. Classes start Aug. 18!
THANK YOU to all who turned out today at South High for the second annual Back To School Bash. Our SROs were outside with a team from St. Charles County Ambulance District, helping families pass the time as they waited in line. Inside families found help with the Online Enrollment Update, creating an FZSD Family Portal account, shoes from Soles for Souls and backpacks stuffed with school supplies donated by members of our community and packed at the Elevate Academy. The first day of school is Aug. 18! Together we are ready to Educate, Empower and Equip Students to Excel!
Have you shopped our first-ever community spirit wear store? It's complete with the "I was there when there was ONE Fort Zumwalt High School." Check it out now: https://www.fz.k12.mo.us/article/2304410
In one week!
The Back-to-School Bash will run from 12 to 3 p.m. on 8-7-25 at South High.
Special thanks to all of the community partners who make it possible, such as Grace River Church, whose congregation provided almost 300 backpacks stuffed with supplies for all grade levels. These partnerships help ensure our students have what they need to focus on learning when school starts. Together with our community we Educate, Empower and Equip Students to Excel.

The only thing hotter than the weather? The STEAM rising from our elementary camps! Our rising 5th graders are already proving that they are future engineers and storytellers, building robots for complex tasks and bringing stop-motion animation to life. Sparking creativity one summer camp at a time. #FZEquipToExcel 📸SPfanstiel
It was a great day to go back to school! Thanks to the student leaders and the award winning teachers who made today's O'Fallon Chamber monthly luncheon at North High such a success. Students jumped in to lead the meeting and, after lunch served by FZ Student Nutrition Services, attendees went to class: Elementary technology, middle school math and STEAM & CTE (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math and Career Technical Education. The afternoon of hands-on learning offered lots of insight on the soft skills students practice every day. Building the future work force with real world encounters today. #FZEquipToExcel
"I thought is was summer break. Why do your campuses seem so busy?"
We get this question a lot and the answer is easy: Leaders Never Stop Learning!
Teachers, staff and students are sharpening reading and math skills and discovering robotics, coding and bio sciences - and with a break in the rain, even the teachers are enjoying some recess!
Congratulations to orchestra teacher Cynthia Clickner, the Mid Rivers News Magazine Teacher of the Year. Each year the magazine collects nominations from across the county and, at their year-end concert, students and families were able to celebrate the announcement with Ms. Clickner.

May is for celebrating! As we close in on a few big celebrations (It's graduation weekend!), we pause with Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Waters to take in just a few of the quieter celebrations shared on Hawthorn Elementary's Happy Board. Staff and students were asked: "What happened in May at Hawthorn that made you smile?" They responded with everything from birthdays to plants starting to grow to one Post-it that reads "This bulletin board! 😃" Taking it all in as as students arrived for school, Waters looked at a Kindergarten teacher and said, "What a great way to start the day!"
South High girls soccer coach Leanne Sanders, who recorded her 100th career victory with a two-goal shutout against rival North High on May 6. Congratulations!
