Maren Thompson brought home a 4th‑place national finish in Pottery, marking her fourth straight year placing in the top four at the national level — an exceptional achievement across her entire high‑school career.

School officials say they’re proud of both students for their talent, hard work, and the way they represented West Plains on the national stage.
