Missouri Scholars 100 is a competitive program that invites schools across the state to nominate candidates based on academic excellence. The selection process employs a formula considering the student's grade point average and ACT or SAT scores. Nominees must meet the criteria of an "Academic Decathlon," successfully navigating ten challenging academic events to showcase their scholastic strength.
To qualify, students must hold a minimum GPA of 3.750, a minimum ACT score of 29 or a minimum SAT score of 1,280, rank in the upper ten percent of their class, and engage in advanced coursework in mathematics, science, English, and foreign language. Additionally, nominees must exhibit excellent attendance, exemplary citizenship within the school, and active participation in the school's activity program.
The recognition will culminate in a special luncheon hosted at the Holiday Inn Executive Center in Columbia, MO, on Sunday, May 4, 2025. The 2025 Missouri Scholars 100 program marks its 31st annual recognition, reflecting a longstanding commitment to honoring academic excellence.

Search continues for missing man in Miami county
Today, Deputies received a tip that led them to the area of 247th Street and Ridgeview Road, suggesting that Jordan may have been in that area.
Based on the investigation, it is believed that Jordan may have been there as recently as Sunday or Monday. As a result, approximately 10 specialized canines—including tracking, human remains detection, and bloodhounds—were deployed to assist in the search.
We continue to urge the public to review any available dash camera footage, home or business surveillance, deer blinds, or trail cameras for potential clues regarding Jordan’s whereabouts.
Today's search efforts were made possible with the assistance of the Kansas Search and Rescue Team, Missouri Search and Rescue Team, Kansas Highway Patrol Aviation Unit, and Taking It to the Streets, which provided snacks, dinner, drinks, and a portable restroom.
Your help and vigilance are greatly appreciated as we work to bring Jordan home
**Please note**: Jordan's appearance may have slightly changed with a longer beard and head hair. **If you have any information, please contact the Sheriff’s Office Dispatch at 913-294-3232 immediately.**
BACKGROUND:
On March 3rd, 2025, Jordan left his residence in Olathe after making concerning comments about self-harm. His vehicle was found on Highway 69, just north of 247th Street, around 5:40 pm that night. An immediate search of the area did not locate Jordan.
Later that evening, around 7:30 pm, a report came in of someone matching Jordan’s description near 247th and Jingo Road. A multi-day, extensive search followed, involving cadaver dogs, drones, planes, a dive team, ATVs, UTVs, horses, and volunteers, but no additional clues were found.
On March 7th, a report came in that someone matching Jordan’s description, wearing a light-colored hoodie, was seen near 223rd and Antioch. Patrol officers responded to investigate further.
Also on March 7th, a caller reported seeing someone matching Jordan’s description—wearing a light-colored hoodie or long-sleeve shirt and jeans—walking north in the southbound ditch of Highway 169, north of 255th Street. Despite a search of the area, Jordan was not located. A second report came in March 9th with the same description, a little further north.
Reports from across the metro are being taken seriously and thoroughly investigated.
As a reminder if you have any information or have seen Jordan, please contact the Miami County Sheriff's Office Dispatch at 913-294-3232.
