South Callaway High School

The SCHS football team showed a dramatic improvement in the 2004–05 season due to the advent of a new weight training program implemented by the coaching staff. The varsity team went from a record of 1–9 in 2003 to, under head coach Bill Frazee, a 2004 record of 7–3, and a 6–4 record in 2005. The 2006 season, however, was a losing season at 0–10, due to a young inexperienced team. The 2007–08 team showed some improvements, going 2–8.

The state Senate honored South Callaway's Eric Frazee for his first-place finish in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles at the state track meet in Jefferson City on May 17, 2008. Frazee is the first state champion, at any sport, from the school since its establishment.[2]

The quiz bowl team at SCHS is one of the most successful activities, having qualified for state competition 3 times in the past 10 years. The team, composed of members of all grades 9–12, narrowly missed state in 2005, losing to School of the Osage at district play. However, the team recoiled and the next year, beat Osage on their home turf to qualify for their first state play in 9 years and received 4th place at the state level. 2007 and 2008 saw the team beaten by Hallsville in the district championship matches.

The band program at South Callaway includes three divisions: marching band, pep band, and concert band. Because of enrollment size, all band students perform in all three groups. The three seasons overlap extensively.

Marching band season typically lasts from August through December. The band participates in the Mokane World's Fair parade in September, and the Central Methodist University Band Day in October, as well as the Fulton Christmas parade in December. Standard dress is the marching band uniform, which consists of a black and blue jacket, with black pants and a white or black shako hat. Pep band season includes both football and basketball seasons. The band plays pep tunes in the stands at home games. Concert band season is the generally winter and spring session. Events include a winter concert, spring concert, the Music Festival at Central Methodist University, and a performance at the graduation ceremony in May. Often, spur of the moment concerts come up, and such instances in 2005-2006 included a performance at a bridge opening in Portland, Missouri, and a Veterans' Day assembly. The concert band also travels for the District and State music contest.

The FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) chapter at South Callaway is one of the largest and most active organizations in the district. The chapter is active in fundraising and community awareness projects, benefitting tsunami victims, the American Cancer Society, the March of Dimes, and the surrounding communities. The chapter is also a winning one. Business teachers have guided the chapter to 15 consecutive victories at the District 2 Leadership Conference. The team also qualifies many members for state competition held in Columbia, Missouri in April. In 2006, SCHS' Website Development team qualified for the National Leadership Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, and received Top 15 honors.

TREND (Turning Resources and Energy in New Directions), SCHS' drug-free group, continues to be active in organizing alternative activities for the district. Each year, TREND hosts many assemblies, including one by Camfel Productions, as well as speakers who present drug awareness messages to the student body.

The Student Council arranges homecoming and courtwarming activities, blood drives, spirit weeks, and other activities for the school. Generally, each organization and class is given one representative in the council, who shall report back to the club/class on STUCO activities.
