Welcome to the Polo R-VII School District

On behalf of the board of education, administration, and staff, I want to welcome you to the Polo R-VII School District.  We are a PreK-12 campus that creates an environment of learning that is an instrumental part of our community.  Our students are amazing people whose talents shine every year in the classroom and in many extracurricular activities.  In POLO we use the following motto: Preparing Outstanding Leaders Of Tomorrow,  everyday to ensure that we are always doing our very best to prepare our students for life after they leave our hallways.

Once A Panther, Always A Panther!

Dear Panther Family: 

I hope your summer has been filled with fun, relaxation and time well spent with your family and friends. It is with great enthusiasm that I officially welcome you to the 2024-25 school year.

Here, in the Polo R-VII School District, we will continue to adhere to our mission statement of our educators requiring and expecting students enrolled in the district schools to develop and demonstrate scholastic, communication, problem-solving, technical, and social skills essential for achieving personal, academic,and occupational success.  If we all pull the rope in the same direction for our students then we are giving them a chance to prosper as they advance through their educational experience and ultimately through their lives.

We are welcoming several new members to our Panther family for the 24-25 school year.   Please help me to formally welcome and congratulate our newest members of our Panther family along with welcoming home some of our former Panthers.
