Dr. Gibbs sits down with student leaders from JROTC, Key Club, NHS, and Student Council to share how they’re serving others, building meaningful connections, and growing as leaders. Their projects, their passion, and their advice remind us what it truly means to be a Knight.

National Special Education Day Celebrating every learner. Honoring every champion.
There will be no school today for the Farmington R-7 School District due to inclement weather. Please stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the extra time at home. Snow Day #1

Today’s announcement features the first student-created Snow Day design from our Grades 5–12 Snow Day Design Challenge! We’ll be sharing the top student submissions each time school is canceled this winter, and we can’t wait for you to see the creativity our Knights have put into their artwork.

To make the morning a little brighter, we’re also sharing a few snapshots of student art projects from around the district. Our classrooms have been busy this semester, and this is a great chance to celebrate the talent of our students while you enjoy an unexpected day off.

Stay cozy, Knights, and we’ll see you soon!

Wishing all of today’s Turkey Trot runners the best of luck, and a very Happy Thanksgiving to our entire community! 🦃 Earlier this week, Coach Baker’s 7th hour PE students wrapped up their own 5K training and proudly completed their run on Tuesday. Every student earned a medal for finishing, and we couldn’t be more proud of their hard work and determination. Enjoy the holiday, cheer on those runners, and have a safe and joyful Thanksgiving!
