Dear Students & Parents, 

It is my pleasure to welcome everyone back for another great year at Jasper.  We are all excited to have students back and have the hallways filled with energy and enthusiasm for learning. We have a great staff of highly qualified educators who are passionate about creating positive relationships with students.  Our goal is to strive to challenge each student to grow in his or her academic abilities. We believe that all students should graduate from high school prepared for the demands of postsecondary education, meaningful careers, and effective citizenship.  

Furthermore, I believe in the importance of growing everyday, setting high expectations for students, having a safe environment where students feel connected, pride in yourself, our school, and our community, and striving to be the best version of yourself.  

It is truly a privilege and honor to be a part of a community where parents/guardians, teachers, and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic and social growth.  Please feel free to contact me at 417-394-2511 or email me at barry.yocom@jasper.k12.mo.us with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Barry Yocom
