A+ Program

Mission

The A+ Schools Program was created in 1993 by state law as an incentive for improving Missouri's high schools. The primary goal of the A+ Schools Program is to ensure that all students who graduate from Missouri high schools, are well prepared to pursue advanced education and/or employment.

In the Camdenton School District, we believe the education of all students is important, regardless of their plans following high school.

The Missouri A+ Scholarship Program encourages all students to focus on a career goal which requires training beyond high school. Students are asked to select a career path, plan coursework for all four years of high school, and progress toward a goal of additional training at the post-secondary level or a high-wage job.

Throughout their career path journey, students always have the option to modify or change their career goals and course of studies. The Missouri A+ Scholarship Program is designed to ensure that all students will be provided with selections of courses, career counseling, technology and/or workplace skill development opportunities that are appropriate for them to achieve success.
