Since 1994, the MCCA/Phi Theta Kappa All-Missouri Academic teams

recognize scholarly achievements of students enrolled in community

colleges. Students must excel in the classroom; have the

intellectual curiosity to pursue academic, career and cultural

enrichment outside the traditional classroom; show evidence of

substantial talents in academic and technical education; and

demonstrate the ability to share this development with

others.
