The total path of destruction was almost 13 miles long and from one-half to three-quarters of a mile wide. The storm destroyed or severely damaged homes, schools, churches and businesses, including St. John’s Regional Medical Center. Joplin High School was destroyed, and the school district will relacale almost 54 percent of its students for the 2011-12 school year. Missouri Southern State University was just 1.5 miles north of tornado's path as it cut through Duquesne. While Joplin and the surrounding area will be forever changed after this storm, which claimed at least 158 lives as of June 27, the resilience anc determination of the people remains strong as we rebuild. Southem is proud to be a partner in this rebuilding process, The fal issue of cromarcmets Will feature students, faculty, statt and alumni and their stories related to the storm and its aftermath.
