Our school district is located in southeast Missouri. Poplar Bluff is named for the dense growth of tulip poplar trees on the bluff of the Black River, which flows through the city. Poplar Bluff is approximately 150 miles south of St. Louis, 150 miles north of Memphis, 150 miles northeast of Little Rock, and about 330 miles southeast of Kansas City.

Our work has always been a vital part of the very bedrock of our great country. This fact has never been more accurate or salient than it is right now. Our students need us more at this moment than they ever have. We have crafted options that will allow our students and their families to make choices about how they interact with the school district, but our fundamental mission has not changed. Despite the churning maelstrom around us, we stand steadfast for our kids. We remain committed to improving the lives of all learners entrusted to our care. We will achieve excellence through learning: every child, every hour, every day.
