Pleasant Hill Missouri

What Pleasant Hill Missouri does

Pleasant Hill R-III Schools is a public K-12 school district serving the Pleasant Hill community in northeast Cass County, Missouri. Operating as a political subdivision of the State of Missouri, the district is governed by an elected Board of Education and administered by a superintendent (Dr. Brian Rudolph). It enrolls students across five school levels — Primary (K-2), Elementary, Intermediate (3-5), Middle (6-8), and High School (9-12) — and supports a virtual learning track through Missouri's MOCAP course access program.

The district delivers a full suite of public education services including core K-12 curriculum, special education, gifted education (the PHYRE program), career and technical education, athletics, counseling, food services, transportation, and the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library early literacy program for children from birth to age five. Its technology footprint is limited to a standard district communication platform (SOCS) used for the district website and parent portal (Student 360), supplemented by Nutrislice for food-service menus and Hudl for athletic livestreams; the district does not develop or sell commercial technology products.

Funding is sourced primarily from local property taxes, Missouri state education aid, federal grants, and voter-approved bond proceeds. The most recent capital initiative, a 2025 bond issue, was approved by voters to fund safety upgrades, HVAC replacements, ADA improvements, career and technical education facility upgrades (including an agriculture greenhouse and culinary arts space), and athletic facility improvements. Ancillary revenue from food services and substitute teacher compensation ($130/day certified, $115/day classified) is marginal, and no consolidated revenue figures are publicly disclosed. Operational contact is centralized at 318 Cedar Street, Pleasant Hill, MO, with marketing and community outreach conducted through the district website, Facebook (PHSDR3), and X/Twitter (PHR3SD).
