• Best high schools in Missouri (bransontrilakesnews.com) — Families in the Kirkwood School District will be glad to see a local high school highlighted among Missouri's best, with strong academics and a solid student–teacher ratio. The statewide list, based on Niche rankings, also showcases other top-performing public and private schools across Missouri for comparison. 
• Greg Warren's long road out of aisle seven (missouri.edu) — Kirkwood residents might enjoy knowing that nationally rising comedian Greg Warren still calls Kirkwood home, living near his dad and frequently heading to Cardinals games and Mizzou matches. This long-form profile traces his journey from Mizzou wrestling and a peanut-butter sales career to sold-out tours, a Netflix special taping, and a family-friendly style backed by fellow star comic Nate Bargatze.
