Montgomery County R-II Wildcat Awards
Mrs. Debbie Brower & Ms. Diane Derocher
September 2025
This year’s district theme, “Be the Difference,” reminds us that every action, every smile, and every moment of care has the power to change lives. Our staff live this message every day—by inspiring curiosity in our students, supporting one another, and creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
The individuals we’re recognizing today have truly been the difference—through their dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to our students and community. Today we honor Mrs. Debbie Brower, the lunch clerk at MCE, and Ms. Diane Derocher, the secretary at MCE.
Debbie and Diane at MCE have made the back to school transition so easy for students and staff! They put in so much work to ensure all of our students arrive and go home safely each day. Diane and Debbie do a wonderful job in communicating changes and other staff needs on a daily basis. Debbie and Diane support our students' needs by ensuring the office environment is welcoming and inclusive. Debbie & Diane make a positive impact not only for our students who may have a hard time in the morning due to arriving at school late but ensuring that there is a smooth transition into the classroom after leaving the office.
Debbie and Diana go above and beyond to make the back to school transition seem less for teachers and parents. The cafeteria flows and Debbie knows what is going on and is thorough in making sure kids get their needs met. Diana has made transportation information easy when the task itself is not. Both ladies make sure procedures and boundaries are established and followed making for a great first couple of weeks with lots of new students and staff in the building. Thank you for always having our students' needs in mind and helping our staff make sure they are fed and delivered where needed! You both are a huge asset to the community at MCE!
Our district’s mission is to create lifelong learners and productive citizens. The Wildcat Award winners support our mission by building meaningful connections, creating a supportive learning environment, and through their commitment to professional growth. Their dedication fosters a love for learning and makes our schools welcoming spaces. We are fortunate Debbie and Diane are a part of our Wildcat family!

We sent several students to Central Methodist University last week to compete in the Mary and Ted Forbes Math and Science Competition. The students really enjoyed their day on campus and getting to experience the different part of the competition.
On September 18 we hosted several elected officials, local business representatives, and community members at MCHS. The group enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by our ProStart 2 and ProStart 3 students under the direction of Mrs. Beattie. They also heard about the college and career preparation opportunities in our Agriculture Education and Family and Consumer Science departments. We appreciate the support and interest in our schools!
MCR2 would like to thank the students and parents who followed our game day expectations during the football game last week. Tomorrow we have another busy Friday night under the lights!
It starts with the Title 1 Under the Lights activities by the concession stand from 5:30-6:30 pm. Kids and their parents are welcome to join in the free games and activities.
The mini cheerleaders will also perform at half time., and of course the varsity football team will play South Callaway. We look forward to another busy evening on campus, so we ask that all spectators keep our expectations in mind to ensure everyone can enjoy the game and additional activities highlighting our young Wildcats.
