Mid Lakes Conference Announcement!

The Dallas County R-I School District (Buffalo High School and Buffalo Prairie Middle School) is joining the Mid-Lakes Conference (MLC) for student activities beginning in the 2024-2025 School Year.  The Mid-Lakes Conference includes Clever, Fair Grove, Forsyth, Hollister, Reeds Spring, Springfield Catholic, and Strafford schools.  The district is currently aligned with the Ozark Highland Conference (OHC) which is made up of Butler, Eldorado Springs, Sherwood, Versailles, and Warsaw schools.  DCR1 has enjoyed six years of working with the OHC schools. This conference alignment and competition has benefited our district.  The district is joining the MLC for two primary reasons.  First, the average travel distance to MLC schools is thirty minutes less than to the OHC schools.  This time represents 30 minutes longer students can remain in classes in the afternoon and 30 minutes they could be home each evening after the competition.  The average travel time to OHC schools is one hour and twenty-two minutes, and the average travel time to MLC schools is fifty three minutes.  The other reason for this change is that all of the districts in the MLC are closer to our own district enrollment of around 1800 students.  The smallest MLC district is between 1200 and 1300 students and the largest is just over 1800 students.  In our current conference the smallest district has 800 students enrolled and we are the largest district by over 300 students. We believe this new conference alignment will be a positive experience for our students and will be an exceptional conference fit for many years to come.
