Tri-Center

11/13/09 Congratulations to BECKY MCDUNN, first grade instructor at Tri-Center, for receiving the Charles E. Lakin Outstanding Teacher Award for 2009. Becky will receive $10,000, and Tri-Center will receive $2,500. Lakin created the award last year as a way to give back to teachers, who were a big influence on his life. Lakin's mission is to reward teachers who entice students to come to school each day, and to emphasize the vital role of teachers in rural communities. Awardees must communicate that teaching is more than a "job"--it's a calling. The award also stresses that teaching in a rural community offers additional benefits. Congratulations, Becky!

40-acre campus is located on Interstate 680 between rolling hills of bean and corn fields in southwest Iowa; 25 miles northeast of Omaha/Council Bluffs, and 100 miles west of Des Moines, Iowa. The district employs over 100 staff members who take part in educating and serving 800 students Pre-K through 12, from the communities of Neola, Minden, Persia, Beebeetown, and surrounding areas.

Tri-Center takes great pride in the academic, activity and athletic programs that are provided for its students. Opportunities and challenges abound at T-C, and these have resulted in a tremendous amount of successes and achievements on the part of the students and staff.

Tri-Center features a fully networked campus that is equipped with telecommunications, internet, projection systems, and satellite capabilities in each classroom. A fiber optics room for long distance learning is also available, as well as three traditional 24-station computer labs (one in each building). In addition to this, a 20-station terminal services lab has been established in the M.S./H.S. library/media center to enhance the reading and research process, and 8 computer mobile labs (each filled with laptops), have been incorporated in the elementary, middle, and high schools to assist with student learning, internet usage, and the implementation of the Accelerated Reader and Accelerated Math Programs. We also have high speed wireless access everywhere on campus.
