“Opening Day” on August 15, 2011 kicked off the school year for Joplin School Teachers, Staff and Volunteers. The event was capped off by this video collection of personal messages from Joplin High School alumni and Joplin expats from across the country and from around the world! Even Barry Manilow, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum and 3 Doors Down joined to celebrate Joplin’s return to school and to say thanks to all teachers and staff for their selfless service and dedication to Joplin’s youth. #eaglepridenationwide #eagleprideworldwide

Wonderful tribute!!!!! This goes to show, you can’t keep the human spirit down. From out of the ashes, the Eagle flies again. May God bless you all, Joplinites.

awesome and very inspiring! A group from our church came out after the tornado and all were touched by the Joplin residents that they came in contact with. Their kindness and determination to rebuild was a blessing! Thank you for this video and our prayers continue to be with you as this new school year begins. God bless you all!
