Mrs. Logan-Hollis has made a lasting impact on countless children, inspiring them to learn, grow, and believe in themselves. Her commitment to education extends far beyond the classroom, and she exemplifies what it means to be an exceptional teacher. Our students are fortunate to learn from someone who leads with compassion, creativity, and unwavering dedication.
This recognition is a testament to the incredible work she has done throughout her 26-year career. Out of educators across Missouri, Mrs. Logan-Hollis is one of just 35 teachers selected to advance to the next phase of the Missouri Teacher of the Year program. Even more impressively, she is one of only two educators named the 2026-2027 South Central Region Teacher of the Year, an honor that reflects the tremendous impact she has made on her students, colleagues, and community.
As she continues on this exciting journey, we wish her the very best in the next phase of the Missouri Teacher of the Year program. Whether she is ultimately named Missouri's Teacher of the Year or not, one thing is certain—here at Kingston K-14, we already know we have the very best. Congratulations, Mrs. Logan-Hollis! We are cheering you on every step of the way.

Mrs. Jeannie Wampler concluded an incredible 27-year career as our High School/Junior High Librarian. During our retirement celebration, her longtime coworker, Mr. Don Moss, shared heartfelt words about the positive influence she has had on students and staff and how greatly she will be missed. Throughout her career, Mrs. Wampler served in many roles, including ELA teacher, Junior Class sponsor, and librarian, touching the lives of generations of students. Thank you, Mrs. Wampler, for your years of dedication and the difference you've made.
Mrs. Jo Anna Aubuchon devoted 20 years to caring for our students through food service. She did far more than prepare meals—she created a welcoming atmosphere where every student felt seen, valued, and cared for. Her kindness, strong work ethic, and genuine compassion made a lasting impression on both students and staff. Her legacy of service will always hold a special place in our school family.
For 25 years, Mrs. Tracy Nissen faithfully served our district as both a bus driver and food service employee. Whether safely transporting students each day or greeting them with a warm smile in the cafeteria, she approached every responsibility with kindness, reliability, and care. Her commitment to our students has left a lasting mark, and we are deeply grateful for her years of service.
After five years of dedicated service, Mrs. Marcia Politte retires with a legacy of pride, dependability, and hard work. Her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond helped ensure our school remained clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone who walked through its doors. Although much of her work happened behind the scenes, its impact was felt by the entire school community.
Ms. Dawn Frankenbach retires after seven years of compassionate service as our school nurse. She provided exceptional care while supporting the health and well-being of both students and staff. Whether offering comfort during difficult moments or responding with professionalism and kindness each day, Ms. Frankenbach's calm presence made a meaningful difference in the lives of so many. She will always be remembered as a valued member of our Kingston family.
Please Note: Ms. Dawn Frankenbach is not pictured, as she retired in March 2026 and was unable to attend our end-of-year retirement celebration. Although she couldn't be with us for the recognition, we are grateful for her years of compassionate service and wish her all the best in retirement.
To each of our retirees, thank you for your years of faithful service, your unwavering commitment to our students, and the countless lives you've touched along the way. We wish you all the happiness, relaxation, and new adventures that retirement brings. Congratulations, ladies—you have truly earned it!

For Coach Hill's visitation tomorrow evening, we will be taking a bus from Kingston to Kutis Funeral Home in St. Louis County (just north of Grant's Farm) and any current or former student, athlete or parent of one of Steve's students may ride to go and pay their respects. We are offering this as the funeral home is about an hour away from Cadet and we know many may not have a way to go, or may just want to ride the bus with others in Steve's memory. The details:
-If your student is younger than 16, a parent will need to accompany them.
- Bus will leave the Kingston parking lot at 3:30 PM
- Bus should arrive at the funeral home around 4:30 PM, depending on traffic
- Bus will load up between 5:30-5:45 and leave promptly at 5:45 to return to school
- Bus will return to school between 6:30-6:45 depending on traffic.
- Parents/Guardians MUST be at school by 6:30 to pick up students. We will not have extra staff here to supervise students to wait for a ride.
If you are interested in riding the bus, please comment on our Facebook post or call us at 573-438-4982 ext. 5.
