Patriotism meets education in this forward-looking address from Superintendent David Haug as Jefferson R-7 School District prepares for a momentous 2025-26 academic year. The excitement is palpable as Haug reflects on recent accolades that have positioned the district as a leader in civic-minded education.The district proudly received dual honors last year—recognition from the Daughters of American Revolution for exceptional flag care practices across campus, and a commendation from the United States Army National Guard acknowledging the district's commitment to respectful partnerships. These relationships have blossomed into meaningful experiences for students, with National Guard members conducting team-building activities with PE classes and athletic teams. Such collaborations exemplify how community partnerships enhance educational experiences beyond traditional classroom settings.Looking ahead, Jefferson R-7 is launching an innovative flag protocol education program in anticipation of America's 250th anniversary. Administrators Mr. Rouggly and Mr. Horn are spearheading this initiative to ensure students develop a deeper understanding of proper flag etiquette and care. The program will include specialized advisory sessions and the development of comprehensive educational materials available to both students and community members. To commemorate this historic national milestone, the district has created a special "United States of America 1776-2026" logo and commemorative pins that will be available at extracurricular events. Don't miss your chance to own this piece of history while supplies last—and join us in celebrating what promises to be an extraordinary year where patriotism and educational excellence converge to create meaningful learning experiences for our students!
