(From Joplin Schools)The Joplin Schools Board of Education has unanimously accepted the “Talon Center” as the official name of the new indoor activity center to be constructed on the campus of Joplin High School as approved by Joplin voters as part of the April 2026 Eagle Bond. The name was selected by a committee of district volunteers, including staff, students, parents, and community members.
Also at the July 21 meeting, the Board approved a multi-year naming rights partnership for the Talon Center with TAMKO Building Products, LLC. Through this 10-year partnership, TAMKO will serve as the facility’s naming sponsor, reflecting a shared commitment to enhancing student experiences and strengthening community connections.
David Humphreys, Chairman and CEO of TAMKO, and his wife, Debra, are also personally sponsoring the facility’s indoor turf field.
“The TAMKO Talon Center will touch many aspects of the student experience," said Superintendent Dr. Kerry Sachetta, "and we’re grateful to work alongside a partner that continues to invest in opportunities that make a lasting difference.”
The TAMKO Talon Center is designed to meet a wide range of student needs, providing year-round space for athletics, fine arts, student organizations, summer programming, and wellness activities. The addition will also help address current gym space limitations and allow programs to grow and thrive. The TAMKO Talon Center has an anticipated completion date of summer 2028.
