Gasconade County R2 is proud to launch our staff daycare this year! This is only available to our GCR2 staff with children ages 0-3. It is an option for staff members for childcare during the school day. The goal is to be an affordable and quality childcare option for staff members with children ages 0-3. This is just one of the ways that GCR2 helps support our staff members!

Check out the new concrete path from OMS to OHS! This was one of the many projects completed this summer around GCR2. Previously, it was a reclaimed asphalt pavement trail (RAP) that was constantly getting washed out. Thanks to Gary Pohlmann and Jimmy Mcclure for their hard work on this project that will last for years to come!

Welcome buses 102 and 103 to the fleet! We have one of the largest geographical school districts in the state with a lot of ground to cover, so having safe and reliable transportation for our students is a district priority. A goal of GCR2 is to be able to cycle 2 new buses into the fleet each school year to keep up with this need. These new buses even feature back-up cameras!

Our Ag Department at Owensville High School is in good hands! Led by Mollie Henneke, Cody Hendrix, and Matt Ketcherside, they have already been hard at work this summer. They have been very busy checking in with students on their SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience) projects, working with the Gasconade County Fair, and a variety of improvements they have made to facilities here on campus. In these photos, you can see them working on the shrubbery and landscaping outside of the Ag building, the shop (which they have put a ton of time into making a better space for the students), and the back lot behind the Ag building.
