Graduating seniors should report to the Wright City High School Field House by 6:00 p.m. Seniors should park in the baseball field parking lot.

🟡Spectators

All parking will be directed by staff to help ensure a safe and efficient flow of traffic. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Additional parking will be available at the Support Services Center (formerly the old high school), located at 520 Westwoods Road in Wright City. Shuttle buses will begin running to and from this location at 4:30 p.m.

Handicap accessible parking will be available near the main stadium entrance.

Please note that parking at Wright City High School will be restricted to paved surfaces only. Because recent weather has left the grounds too wet for grass parking, we encourage all guests to plan accordingly and consider using the off-site parking and shuttle service.

An updated parking map was sent to senior families.

*Pumpkins Galore will NOT be used as an alternate parking site.*

We look forward to celebrating this special milestone with our graduates and their families.

The Wright City R-II School District has been selected by Character.org and CharacterPlus to receive not one, but two District-Level Promising Practice Awards for the District’s Superintendent Advisory Groups and practices.

According to Character.org, “Promising Practice Awards are unique, effective, and replicable initiatives that inspire ‘goodness in action’ and contribute to the field of character development.”

This year, only three school districts in the entire state of Missouri received this distinguished District-level recognition. Notably, Wright City School District was the only district in Missouri to receive two Promising Practice Awards.

This recognition highlights the exceptional work, dedication, and commitment of our staff, leadership team, and our community to continuous improvement, student success, and building positive relationships throughout our schools and community.

Character.org Director of Promising Practices, Diana Dodson, shared:
“We are incredibly proud to recognize the schools and organizations that have developed and implemented Promising Practices. Each of these practices demonstrates meaningful impact while bringing to life the principles that inspire ‘goodness in action’ and cultivate a culture of character in schools and organizations.”

Did we do this right? 💙🐾

From cheer camp kiddo and high school cheerleader… to Teacher of the Year and Superintendent.

We’d say they took “Once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat” pretty seriously.

Proud is an understatement🤩

Moms, dads, grandparents, and guardians - hug your kiddos a little tighter today and celebrate how proud we are of their growth.

One day they’re graduating kindergarten, and before you know it, they’re graduating high school. Time truly flies.

Cheers to the last week of the 2025-2026 school year!🎓
