| Welcome to the Scholars Program |
We are excited with the new year and our new name. Please visit us often as we construct our new web presence. The Springfield Scholars Program (SCHOLARS) is designed to identify and provide education services for the highly gifted middle school student. This accelerated academic experience provides students with the opportunity to pursue areas of strength in a high school setting. This program is located at Central High School. ________________________________________________ NEWS AND EVENTS: RECENT GAM TRIP TO JEFFERSON CITY POWERPOINT1
7th grade students playing Revolutionary War board games teams created in their Social Studies classes. The students divided into teams, studied the war and then worked together to make all the components needed to play their game. Students had a lot of fun when they took turns playing other teams’ games. Students also celebrated "Loyality Week Nerd Day"

Students have been meeting at Central after school, familiarizing themselves with the countries they will represent in November. The Scholars students have selected the countries they will represent, and have signed up for UN committees. Student delegates will represent Kuwait, Israel, Slovakia and India. Delegates will sit on several committees while at MAMUN. They will be active on First Committee, Third Committee, Eco Soc, Security Council, and Historical Security Council. Students work in one of the computer labs on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school with their team members under the direction of Mrs. Chapin and Mrs. Sellars, the 7th grade Scholars Program instructors. Eighth grader Joseph Essmann has been a member of Model UN since 6th grade and stated, "Being a part of Model UN is good because I like the college atmosphere and it is important to know about international affairs and global issues.” Jacob Zorehkey and Sasi Karuparti both feel that being a part of this prgoram is “interesting and when you listen to the news you actually know what the commentators are talking about." Even though there is a lot of research, writing and reading to do, Jack Mostyn, a sixth grade student stated, "It's a lot of fun."
