We want to congratulate Rylund Stewart and Jennifer Stephenson for their big accomplishments recently!!
On Tuesday, November 4, Rylund auditioned for a chair in the South Central Missouri Music Educators Association (SCMMEA) District Honor or Concert band. He competed against over 700 students from 40 area schools for chair placement for one of 234 spots in one of the bands. He earned a chair placement and will perform with the Concert Band in January 2026 at the Aetos Center for the Performing Arts in Nixa.
This past weekend, Jennifer won 1st place in the 8th grade girls individual competition at the Missouri State Air Rifle tournament.
She has been part of the air rifle team for three years at this point; starting in 6th grade. This is the first state competition she has attended.
Congratulations to them both!!

The Billings School District is excited to celebrate great improvement, and believe it is because of the hard work and dedication of our students, faculty, staff, administration and community. As a district we received a total score of 83%. We are so proud of our students for their scores in status and their amazing growth. GREAT JOB TEAM WILDCATS! We love you!
