We took the opportunity at Opening Day to snap a couple pictures of our Tiger staff members who are also Cape Central High alumni! We are missing a few people but take a look at that group! Wow! #WeareCT



We had the best time at our Opening Day event as we welcomed all of our staff members back to prepare for a new school year. A huge thanks to CTA for leading us in Tiger Feud and to the Cape Girardeau Public Schools Foundation for prizes. MRTA donated three $500 checks to educators in our district today! Our keynote speaker, Tara Martin, gave a very inspiring message to all of us to wrap up our morning.
We are so excited to be closing in on the start of the 2023-2024 school year and cannot wait to welcome our staff members back!
It’s always a great day to be a Tiger! 🐅
