As part of the Pirate Pride Day of Caring, students are hosting a “Stuff the Bus” food drive, and they need your help to reach their goal, to collect 2,026 pounds of food to support local families and pantries this summer.
📍 Donations can be dropped off at Hannibal High School (7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.)
🚌 Look for the bus out front—every item goes directly toward making a difference right here in our community.
This effort supports local partners and helps ensure families have access to food when school is out.
Let’s rally behind the Class of 2026 and show what it means to be #Hannibal Proud.

Due to the potential for additional hazardous weather, we will release students early today.
Dismissal times:
High School: 12:30 p.m.
Middle School: 1:00 p.m.
Elementary: 1:15 p.m.
This early release will help ensure our buses can get students home safely before the next round of weather arrives.
Thank you for your continued support. Please stay safe.

Jenna has jumped into Cosmetology with enthusiasm in every aspect—whether it’s theory, hands-on skills, asking questions to deepen her learning, or bringing in clients. Her dedication and strong attendance truly set her apart.
Jenna will be an excellent senior role model next year, and we are so lucky to have her in our program. Keep up the amazing work, Jenna! - Mrs. Wittland 💇♀️✨

Allysa was nominated by Mrs. Wittland for going above and beyond every single day. She works hard to perfect her skills, studies diligently, and shows up — even when she doesn’t have to. That kind of drive and dedication is exactly what it takes to be successful in this industry, and we are so proud to have her as a student. Allysa, we can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish.

Due to current road conditions, beginning January 28, school buses will operate on hard-surface roads only until further notice.
