February is Career and Technical Education Month. At last night’s school board meeting, AHS FBLA members Carsyn Vaughan, Sophia Clark, Brylee Russey, and Raena Wheeler gave a presentation that overviewed FBLA Chapter accomplishments and membership. They also shared information regarding all the CTE Programs at Arkadelphia High School.
Following that presentation, Junior Brylee Russey gave her 2026 Public Speaking event entry, which ended in a standing ovation from those in attendance. Thank you to these students and AHS FBLA Adviser Ashley Wesley for bringing these essential elements of our school to the Board with the utmost professionalism. We were thrilled to recognize them with the Badger Pride Award for their dedication to excellence.
