CARTHAGE, Mo. — Missouri's past came to life at Carthage's Steadley Elementary today. Carthage settles lawsuit with former city administrator Volunteers revive history in Carthage for Great Americans Day Carthage-area bridge to close for $2.8 million replacement project Jasper County Sheriff's Office highlights safety at annual event Carthage Tech Center awards top honor to 100+ seniors Third grade students portrayed big names from the state's past, many of them even dressing for the part. This is an annual tradition at the school and has the students researching their character to help educate fellow classmates. Parker Jones portrayed World War 2 General Omar Bradley, a native of Clark, Missouri. 'First we had to get all the facts about them, and then we had to write it on a piece of paper, and then we had to type it,' said Parker Jones, portraying Gen. Omar Bradley. 'It covers speaking and listening, it covers researching, it covers Missouri history, it covers the contributions of famous Missourians. That's an actual standard that we have to teach,' said Nicole Bayless, 3rd Grade Teacher. These students were given a list of famous Missourians to choose from. After that, the work was all their own. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Volunteers revive history in Carthage for Great Americans Day
CARTHAGE, Mo. — History comes alive at the park in Carthage. Central Park was the site Tuesday for the annual 'Great Americans Day.' It's put on every year by the Carthage Intermediate Center and, once again, featured volunteers who portrayed the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Diamond's own, George Washington Carver. This event highlights the importance of historical figures — and the values that made them important in America's history. It's also part of the Living History field trip for local schools.

'I do it because our kids today and all of us are so inundated with hard stories, stories of stress and strife across our nation in the world. But it's important that we talk about our history as a nation and the people who built it and inspired the great things in our nation, how they were built and why they did what they did. We need inspiration,' said Edwards. 'I think they should do something like this because it can help them learn like the great Americans that helped make a difference in the world and like, helped what we do now,' said Haedyn Duncan, Carthage 5th grader. The Intermediate Center has hosted this event since 2002. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Carthage Tech Center awards top honor to 100+ seniors
CARTHAGE, Mo. — The Carthage Technical Center awards more than 100 seniors with its highest honor. 107 seniors, to be exact, earned their state-recognized career and technical education certificates during CTC's annual awards night. As part of the honor, the students will wear a black cord on graduation night. Students studying in 12 different careers earned a total of 526 industry-recognized credentials — and completed more than 14-thousand hours of work-based learning. 'It's a neat chance to highlight what they've done, because maybe they haven't excelled in your normal academic course work, but they found their passion in a career and technical education program, and it's a chance to kind of spotlight them and their accomplishment,' said Dr. Gage Tiller, CTC Director.
