B.O.E. News

Nov. 2025
It’s been a little while since our last update, and there’s plenty to share! School is in session, activities are in full swing, and projects are moving forward across the district. Keeping up with everything is a true exercise in scheduling, but it’s always a joy to witness the many accomplishments of our students—both in the classroom and on the field.
 

WHO'S IN THE BLUE?

Jim Turner

This month we are featuring Coach Jim Turner. Jim is the head coach for the Scott City Beaver Football team and Head of the Track and Field teams. When he is not on the field, he is in the classroom, teaching about World and American History to our High School students. Under his leadership we have had several winning seasons on the fields, built with integrity and tradition.
