Hurley Archery proudly sent seven talented archers to Myrtle Beach, SC, to compete in the prestigious Championship (World) Archery Tournament.
The competition commenced on June 5th, with the archers starting on the bullseye range at 9:45 AM, followed by the 3D range at 12:15 PM. This year’s tournament hosted approximately 3,200 shooters in the Bullseye tournament and around 2,300 shooters in the 3D tournament.
We are thrilled to announce that four of our archers achieved personal bests during the tournament:
Dana Coin: 235 (Bullseye)
Kortnie Wilson: 281 (3D)
Dylan Burklen: 265 (3D)
Kynzlie Wilson: 260 (3D)
Remarkably, Hurley was the only Middle School team from Missouri to record a team score, finishing with a total of 1,485. The experience was not only competitive but also memorable, as the archers enjoyed the opportunity to see the ocean, with four of them experiencing it for the first time.
Congratulations to all the archers for their hard work and dedication, and a heartfelt thank you to the parents and school for their continued support of the archery team. #HurleyTigerUp

Summer School Field Trip Update – Change of Location
Dear Families,
Due to the forecasted rain on Friday, we have made a change to our field trip plans. Instead of our original destination, we will now be going to the Monett YMCA indoor pool.
The school will still cover the cost for all students—there is no additional fee. However, the YMCA requires a separate permission slip, which was sent home with your child today. Please be sure to review, sign, and return it as soon as possible so your child can participate in this fun alternative activity.
Thank you for your flexibility!
Reminder: Summer School starts tomorrow! We’re excited to see everyone!
Congratulations to our Tiger baseball players who received All-District and All-Conference honors!

Today the senior class of 2025 took a graduate walk with the preschool class of 2025! They walked down the hill from the preschool classroom and were met with a lot of "Pomp and Circumstance" when they arrived in the main building. Students and staff held up signs and cheered as our graduates marched through the hallways. It's one of the final times the seniors will walk the halls, and one of the first times for our soon-to-be kindergarteners. What a fun way to celebrate our graduates! #HurleyTigerUp #Classof2025
