Magic of C. J. Huff name drawing new students to Joplin schools

Build it and they will come.

The C. J. Huff Administration has been pushing forward with the construction of 21st Century school buildings and equipping high school students with MAC laptops and eighth graders with iPads.

And, as much as I hate to admit it, these moves have been responsible for bringing new students to Joplin schools.

Unfortunately for C. J. Huff, those Joplin schools are Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School and College Heights Christian School.

Huff's magic has also extended beyond school district lines, as not only students, but many former R-8 teachers are finding new homes in the Carl Junction, Webb City, Neosho, and Carthage school districts.

Thanks to C. J. Huff, a lot of area schools are witnessing bright futures.
