Oakville High School made the 2013 list of top-ranked Missouri schools released by U.S. News & World Report on Tuesday. The magazine placed Oakville as No. 24 in its report of 2013 Best High Schools Rankings. It's a big step forward for the high school, which didn't gain such recognition in 2012's rankings.

An Oakville High School senior has used an entrepreneurship class to open her own bakery business. Melina Delkic says learned how to bake at an early age and spent hours in the kitchen with her mother, according to a news release from the Mehlville School District. The class requires students to create a "pretend" company and business plan, so Melina naturally decided to build her business around a bakery.
