Welcome
"It is a great day to be a Cole Camp Bluebird"
Mr. Jonathan Petersen, Principal
My wife, Erica (Talbott), and I both graduated from Cole Camp High School. We continued our education at State Fair Community College earning our AA degrees and participating in the Show Choir. We finished our bachelors degrees at CMSU (UCM), hers in finance and mine in secondary mathematics education. We moved to Clinton to begin our careers where I taught HS math for 4 years and during that time I returned to UCM to earn my Masters degree in secondary administration. I started teaching math during night classes as an adjunct professor for SFCC at the Clinton campus which I did for a couple years. When a HS math teacher position in Lincoln opened up, we decided we would start making our way back home so I applied. I taught there for 2 years as a Cardinal. In 2012, I decided to put my administration degree to use and accepted the position as Smithton HS principal. My family and I moved to Sedalia and were Tigers for 10 years. In 2017, I earned my Education Specialist degree in School Leadership from UCM. In the Fall of 2022 my wife Erica, myself, and our 3 children; Conner, Anna, and Alex moved to Cole Camp where I have been blessed to be the High School Principal. Cole Camp is such a unique community and we love to show our kids that big blue pride, where it's always a great day to be a bluebird!
