The Cassville R-IV School District will welcome 23 new members to the Wildcat teaching staff during the 2026-27 school year. New staff members spent some time on campus last week learning about the district, meeting their coworkers, completing staff training and preparing for their students. The Cassville Area Chamber of Commerce members provided welcome bags that were given to each new staff member during their first day of training.
