Schools in Stoddard County
Excelling in Both Academics and Sports
Our students have excelled in both academics and sports, with Stoddard County schools represented in major statewide competitions year after year.
A majority of our high school graduates continue their education at nearby colleges and universities such as Three Rivers Community College in Poplar Bluff and Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau.
Also located in our county is the Mingo Job Corps Center. This Center is a program for young people who have had limited opportunities for success in work or school. Located in Puxico and operated by the U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, it has offered educational and vocational training to hundreds of students. Stoddard County Career Learning Center was established in 2003 to meet the need for vocational training.
Stoddard County supports a strong education for each of our children and would be proud for you to visit any of our schools. Below you will find additional information on each of the county’s school systems or click on the links to access more information.
