New Haven, Mo. - Franklin County R-2 School is unique in many ways compared to the majority of other K-8 schools. The difference that sets R-2 apart from others is graduating 8th graders have several options of where they plan to attend high school and even though the majority will begin the next chapter in their lives at New Haven, others may not.
Similar to graduating from high school, classmates at R-2 said their goodbyes Monday night to those who will be taking a different path in pursing their education at different high schools.

To say coach John Tucker was excited with how both teams preformed on Friday and Saturday would be an understatement. During our interview he said, “This is the best time I’ve had at the state meet since 2002.” (2002 girls team won the schools first ever team State Championship.)
New Haven, Mo. - An ordinance was introduced for discussion at April’s City Council meeting after City Administrator Steve Roth received complaints about parking issues and traffic safety hazards along sections of Miller Street.
The ordinance, which would establish “no parking” in three areas along Miller Street, was passed with a motion for the ordinance to not take affect for 60 days and to be included in next month’s agenda.
After a long discussion and Alderman Stephen Miller's concerns, the board agreed on adding the 60 day period, allowing them time to make sure homeowners along Miller Street are aware of the ordinance.
In April, Aldermen will have the option to leave the ordinance as is or withdrawl it completely.
