Celebrate



Please come join Couch R-1 School District in celebrating the amazing achievement of Mrs. Kathy Huddleston.

Kathy Huddleston has served the Couch Community for 50 Years as the Librarian. This is an incredible accomplishment. As the average educational career is a mere 12 to 14 years, Kathy has well exceeded that. Providing all those she has served with kindness, understanding and a warm smile. It is even more exciting to celebrate the fact that Mrs. Huddleston will continue to serve our community and help educate students for years to come.

We welcome you to celebrate this momentous occasion with us on Wednesday, Apr 29, 2026 at 4 pm at Couch High School Gymnasium.

If you would like to give a card or gift to Mrs. Huddleston and can not attend, please send them to : Kathy Huddleston ℅ Couch High School at: 22206 MO 142 Myrtle, MO 65778.

Any questions about this event can be directed to Jo Dee Trader at 417-938-4212 ext 2
