Poage In The Community

Celebrating our Hannibal High School MVPs

Hannibal High School has launched a new MVP—Most Valuable Pirate—Award, sponsored by Poage Chevy Buick. Each month, we'll recognize one teacher and one support staff member; leaders who exemplify leadership, integrity, and care, the qualities that power our mission to serve our community by empowering students to thrive.

Most Valuable Pirate: Brock Sousa, HHS Special Services/Off-Campus Coordinator at Hannibal High School!

Mr. Sousa's nominator shared, "Brock’s impact extends well beyond his classroom responsibilities. He consistently ensures students have access to the resources, guidance, and support they need to succeed in school and in life. His passion for helping others and his ability to connect students with meaningful opportunities leave a lasting mark on our school and community."

Students trust Mr. Sousa. Colleagues respect his leadership and teamwork. His positive attitude and sense of humor strengthen the environment around him, and his work reflects a deep belief in every student’s potential.

Thank you to our sponsor, Poage Chevy Buick | Quality Chevy Dealers, for sponsoring the monthly MVP Award, recognizing staff who exemplify leadership, integrity, and care.

MVP Spotlight: Mercedes Oquendo – Custodian at Hannibal High School!

Congratulations to Mercedes Oquendo, Most Valuable Pirate! Mercedes takes great pride in her work and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our schools are clean, welcoming, and well cared for. Her attention to detail and willingness to tackle areas needing extra care have made a noticeable difference for both students and staff.

Hannibal High School MVP for December 2025

Our first Support Staff MVP is Keri Hess, Head Custodian at Hannibal High School!

HHS Counselor and Head Cheer Coach Devan Lemons shared, "Keri is amazing at her job and consistently goes above and beyond. She keeps things running smoothly and looking great—not only at HHS, but across Pirate buildings and grounds. She even helps with lunch supervision when she can. We love and appreciate her!"

Keri's leadership shined at our first home game, when a major sewer issue hit the football locker room. Keri and her team jumped into an unpleasant situation, cleaned and secured the area, and made sure students could safely access their belongings after the game- all on top of their regular game-time responsibilities. That's truly beyond the call of duty. Keri, thank you for your professionalism, and Pirate pride!

Please join us in congratulating our inaugural MVP— Most Valuable Pirate— Keri Hess!

Our first Teacher MVP is Jake Greving , Assistant Principal at Hannibal High School!

HHS Assistant Principal, and Pirate Pride Drive Crossing Guard, Jake Greving was struck by a vehicle while on duty the morning of September 12. In that moment, Mr. Greving’s selflessness showed: he moved students out of harm’s way before thinking of himself. No students were injured, and we are grateful the situation wasn’t more serious.

Because of his swift, student-first action and his everyday dedication, Mr. Greving is this month’s Teacher MVP—Most Valuable Pirate, presented by a student he protected. He is also the recipient of the the inaugural Mayor’s Community Champion Award from Hannibal Mayor Darrell McCoy- an honor designed to recognize citizens who make Hannibal great through courage, service, and heart.

Mr. Greving, THANK YOU for your swift action, humble strength, and relentless dedication to our students.


Community reminder: please slow down, put phones away, follow crossing-guard directions, and watch for sun glare during arrival and dismissal.
