Volunteers build new JROTC obstacle course

Waynesville JROTC cadets have a new obstacle course—thanks to volunteers.

Over the course of six months, this collaborative volunteer effort took shape. Volutneers provided engineering expertise and oversight, while Sam Callis, director of the Waynesville Career Center, and Danny Click, instructor of construction technology at the WCC, secured the materials needed to bring the project to life.

Progress continued steadily on weekends through the hard work of volunteers, students, JROTC cadets and parent volunteers.

On July 26, 2025, the obstacle course was officially completed. The final design includes a 12-foot wall, horizontal ladder, 25-foot rope climb, culverts and a 1-Rope Bridge area—providing Waynesville’s Raider Team with a high-quality training facility right here at home.

ā€œThe volunteers’ leadership and the dedication of everyone involved transformed a shared vision into a lasting asset for our program,ā€ said Col. Charles Williams (Ret.), senior Army instructor for Waynesville JROTC.
ā€œWe’re incredibly grateful for the volunteers and excited for what this means for the future of our cadets. The new course is more than just a training ground—it’s a symbol of teamwork, service, and shared commitment to excellence.ā€

Peggy Arnold receives MEMO Lifetime Achievement Award

The Marketing Educators of Missouri (MEMO), a division of MOACTE and ACTE, presented the 2025 MEMO Lifetime Achievement Award to longtime marketing educator and leader Peggy Arnold during its annual conference held in Springfield, Mo., on July 22, 2025.

The Lifetime Achievement Award is MEMO’s highest honor, recognizing a career of outstanding contributions to marketing education across the state. The award recognizes Arnold for exemplifying the very best of the profession, through decades of teaching, mentoring, and program leadership that have left a profound and lasting impact on students, colleagues and the Career and Technical Education (CTE) community.

Arnold’s career at the Waynesville Career Center has been marked by excellence both in and out of the classroom. As a DECA advisor, she guided students to excel in local, state and national competitions. Her programs are known not only for their rigor but also for their heart—providing students with real-world experiences, confidence and leadership opportunities.

"Peggy sparked my love and interest for marketing and changed the course of my life," shared Isabella Pondrom, a former student who now works in sales for the New York Mets. "Her encouragement helped me pursue a degree in marketing and launch my career in the industry. She’s been a pillar in my success."

Arnold’s passion extends far beyond the classroom. She has been a relentless advocate for CTE, consistently introducing innovative, real-world teaching practices and maintaining strong connections with industry partners. According to one colleague, "Her forward-thinking approach ensures that her programs remain relevant and effective. She fosters a culture of excellence and continuous improvement wherever she goes."

"Peggy’s leadership within MEMO and the broader CTE community has been nothing short of transformational," said MEMO President Sarah Estes. "Her influence can be seen in the success of her students, the strength of her programs, and the inspiration she provides to fellow educators statewide."

MEMO is proud to honor Peggy Arnold with the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award for her enduring legacy of excellence, mentorship, and dedication to advancing marketing education in Missouri.

The Marketing Educators of Missouri (MEMO) is Missouri’s premier professional organization for marketing educators. MEMO supports professional development, advocacy and excellence in marketing education statewide.
