The magazine, appropriately
titled, was named by one of our
elementary school teachers. As
the 26th largest district with
the largest middle school in
the State of Missouri, there is
certainly plenty to “explore”
about our schools, our
programs, our services
and most importantly, our
students.
Our dedicated faculty, staff
and hardworking students made
generating the content for the
magazine easy, but forced difficult
decisions when it came time to
determine what we would feature.
When you begin to “explore” R-III,
I think you’ll find there’s much
more to our district than you
may have ever known. Whether
you are new to the district or a
lifelong resident, there’s always
something to learn about our
efforts to educate 6,300+ prekindergarten to 12th grade
students and our journey to
becoming the PREMIER school
district in the State of Missouri.
I might be partial, but there’s
so much our community can be
proud of with the R-III District.
While ExploR-III will be an
annual publication, I invite you
to “explore” our schools and all
we have to offer the community
throughout the year via our
district website, Facebook page,
YouTube channel, or through
my semi-monthly column in the
Lincoln County Journal, “Penny’s
Two Cents.”
Yours in education,

ExploR-III is the latest addition to the Lincoln
County R-III District’s methods of connecting
and communicating with parents, students and
community members. This magazine is a joint
effort between our district and the Lincoln
County Journal. Due to the beautiful and
professional nature of the magazine, I know it
will be natural for people to question whether
or not tax dollars were used to produce this
magazine. I can assure you with confidence that
no school district tax dollars were spent
on the production of this magazine.
