October is National Principals Month!
Today, we celebrate Callie Hunley, the principal at Arkadelphia High School. Ms. Hunley loves being the principal for two main reasons. First, she says, it’s all about the kids. She loves the students, of all ages. She is in her third year as AHS Principal. Before Ms. Hunley became the high school principal, she served for seven years as the Perritt Primary School Principal. Ms. Hunley also loves being the principal at Arkadelphia High School because of the wonderful staff.
Ms. Hunley, we think you are amazing! Thank you for loving our students and for leading the AHS staff. We appreciate all you do!
