Celebrating the 2019 Senior Class

There are so many ways to answer the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

Many students have grown up in the educational ministries of the Missouri District, where they learned not only where they want to go, but what kind of life they want to lead on the way to their dreams.

These are some of the young leaders graduating this Spring.
