Filing for positions on the Pattonville School District Board of Education begins at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 6, and ends at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 27. Persons interested in running for a position on the school board may file at the Pattonville Learning Center, 11097 St. Charles Rock Road, St. Ann, Missouri. Candidates will be placed on the ballot in order of filing. There are three positions available on the April 4, 2023, election ballot, each with a three-year term. Board members whose terms are expiring are Brian Gray as well as Lisa Kickbusch and Ruth Petrov who were appointed in 2022 to fill open positions. Their appointment lasts until the April election, but because both are filling terms that were set to expire in 2023, all open positions will be for a three-year term.
Each month during the school year, the Pattonville Board of Education honors students, staff and volunteers who have gained recognition outside of the district or who’ve made a special contribution to the educational programs in Pattonville. Learn more about students and staff who were recognized in November.
After more than 30 years in education, Dr. Tina Plummer, Pattonville’s assistant superintendent of teaching and learning, will retire at the end of the 2022-2023 school year. Plummer joined Pattonville in 2018 and has been instrumental in expanding personalized learning and implementing learner profiles to ensure students are learning at their pace. She has created unique opportunities for students through programs like Pirate Academy. Currently, Plummer is leading the district’s Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) to create a strategic plan for the next five years.

Pattonville Heights Middle School eighth grader Eva Benson recently published her first manga novel, “Forgotten.” She is both the author and illustrator of this published work.
“I came up with the storyline when I was eight years old and my ideas just kept spiraling until I finally decided I needed to write this down.”
The illustrations on the pages took about nine months to complete and her goal was to publish it before she turned 13 years old.
“I made the book when I was 12 but it took several months to find the right publisher and then I was involved in picking the paper I wanted to use,” Benson said. “Mangas are usually printed on newsprint, but that wasn’t an option so I had to go with something else.”
