Please join us as we congratulate our 2023 retirees. They have over 542 years of service to education, of which 417 of those years were right here in Nixa.

Inman Intermediate has been recognized as a Model Professional Learning Community (PLC) at Work School. Inman is one of about 500 schools and districts in the United States and Canada to receive this honor, and the third school in Nixa to earn this achievement.

PLCs are schools and districts in which educators recognize the key to improved learning for students is ongoing, job-embedded learning for the adults who serve those students.️

The three big ideas of a PLC call upon educators to do the following:

1. Focus on learning.

2. Build a collaborative culture.

3. Create a results orientation.

Schools are recognized based on strict criteria, including demonstration of a commitment to PLC concepts, implementation of these concepts for at least three years, and clear evidence of improved student learning over that period. Once measurable results can be seen, the school must explain its practices, structures, and culture and submit its application for consideration by the PLC Review Committee.

The Junior High Artist of the Week is Sophia Thimesch! Artist of the Week is sponsored by Rocco's Pizza of Nixa.

"Sophia is a seventh-grade theatre student. She was recently seen in Elf the Musical at Nixa Junior High. She is imaginative and full of energy. She has a strong work ethic and is bold in her artistic choices, never afraid to try something new. She encourages others to do their best. She is a creative artist and a kind human being." - Darrel Priddle, junior high theatre teacher

"To me, theatre means fun, joy, and a place where you can be yourself with no repercussions. Theatre means friendships and happiness when you meet new people with the same interests. All in all, theatre means awesomeness!" - Sophia Thimesch
