It’s National School Counseling Week, and it’s the perfect time to give a massive shout-out to the incredible individuals who help our students navigate the ups and downs of growing up!
At Farmington Central, we are beyond lucky to have two of the best in the business. Join us in celebrating:
Ms. Katie Nimtz – Farmington Central Jr. High Whether it’s helping students find their footing in those middle school years or offering a kind word when it’s needed most, Ms. Nimtz is a rock for our junior high crew. Her dedication to student well-being makes a world of difference every single day.
Ms. Amara White – Farmington Central High School From navigating the complexities of high school life to guiding students toward their future goals and college dreams, Ms. White is an invaluable advocate. Her support helps our students feel seen, heard, and prepared for whatever comes next.
Why we love our counselors: They provide a safe space for every student. They are the ultimate problem-solvers. They cheer the loudest for student success.

Our quest to level up our readers has never been so much fun! We’re blasting through our mission to earn as many books as possible for our students.
Students in Ms. Springer's Creativity Exploratory class recently made amazing Valentine Cards that will be given to residents of our local nursing homes. The students really enjoyed doing this act of kindness.

We had some very distinguished guests at Farmington Central Elementary yesterday! To celebrate the 100th Day of School, our students transformed into their 100-year-old selves—complete with grey hair, glasses, and plenty of "old-school" style.
It wasn't all just sitting in rocking chairs, though! We kicked off the morning meeting with a burst of energy, completing 100 exercises to prove that 100 is the new 10. From 100 days of learning to 100 reps of fitness, our students are officially 100% awesome.
Check out these centenarians in action! 👇

Last night, the Farmers went 2–0 in duals, defeating Midwest Central by a score of 40–33 and avenging a previous loss to Knoxville with a 43–36 victory.
Farmington’s lone senior, Bradlee Ellis, earned his 150th career win in dramatic fashion by pinning his Knoxville opponent in the first period during his final home dual as a Farmer. He was joined on the mat by freshman Isaac Showalter, Jackson Ralph, Isaac Flora, Xander Simerly, and sophomores Gage Williamson and Jonathan Peters, all of whom finished the night with a perfect 2–0 record.
Senior Night was also celebrated last night, as the program recognized Emma Slayton (manager) and Bradlee Ellis for their contributions to the team.
This weekend, we look forward to seeing undefeated freshman standout Isaac Showalter (32–0), along with senior Bradlee Ellis (30–1), lead the charge at the Orion Invite as they wrap up their final regular-season tournament.
