Arkadelphia Public Schools

The Arkadelphia Promise has announced the November Teacher of the Month, Mr. Michael Ankton.

Mr. Ankton is a 7th and 8th-grade Social Studies teacher at Goza Middle School. He is the Student Council Sponsor and has coordinated the effort to bring the Arkansas Game and Fish Conservation Leadership to Goza Middle School. Mr. Ankton is in his third year at Goza.

He is a 2019 graduate of Arkadelphia High School. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Science in Educational Leadership (Building Level) at Henderson State University. He is now working on an Educational Doctorate in Rural and Diverse Educational Leadership at SAU.

Last month, the first Arkadelphia Promise Teacher of the Month recipient was named. The award was made possible by the late Janice Stanford’s remarkable generosity through a legacy donation to the Arkadelphia Promise Foundation.
Mr. Ankton was presented with a cash award in appreciation of his impact by the Arkadelphia Promise Director, Jason Jones. This award is presented monthly to an Arkadelphia educator who demonstrates excellence in the classroom, a passion for student success, and an unwavering dedication to the teaching profession.
Congratulations, Mr. Ankton!
