Memorial Day 2026. Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave all while serving our country. We remember. We remember their sacrifice. Thank you, to those who served and to their families.

Our district offices and campuses are closed in honor of Memorial Day.

It is time once again for the transportation department's annual fish fry. 🎣
Our mechanic, Shane McBride, and Director Jimmy King fried up some delicious fish. Also, thank you to Mitch Luna, transportation coordinator, for making this meal happen again. They also wished Lisa Francis a happy retirement after 10 years of driving a bus for the district. You will be missed.

It does our heart good to see our transportation personnel being treated to good food. They have a challenging job, and they do it well. We appreciate you! AND if anyone wants to join the bus driver team for the 2026-27 school year, please apply on our website.

This spring, Arkadelphia High School Students Kentayvon Green and Aeva Waddell attended the RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Academy) at the 4-H Center in Ferndale. RYLA is an intensive leadership and teamwork training program for youth (rising 10th/11th graders) from South and East Arkansas. The students were sponsored by the Arkadelphia Rotary Club. At a Rotary meeting earlier this month, Kentayvon and Aeva (on Peake Field Day!) shared about their experience at the camp and expressed their appreciation for the opportunity. The RYLA program helps youth develop character, increase leadership skills, and learn about Rotary.

On Wednesday, we were honored to host Arkansas Secretary of Education Jacob Oliva, Forward Arkansas, and the Center for Outcomes-Based Contracting at Peake Elementary School. The visit highlighted how Arkadelphia Public Schools is leading the way with High-Impact Tutoring (HIT).

Peake showcased our students as well as the teachers and staff who are creating the conditions for our students to thrive! They are receiving specialized support to boost their reading skills, and the progress is inspiring. Whether in-person or through Amplified virtual tutoring, it is evident that our students are taking ownership of their learning and reaching new heights. We appreciate everyone who is making this opportunity possible.

We were also glad to have local representatives, including the Ross Foundation, our universities, and Dawson Coop, present for the visit. You can read more about our partnership with Forward Arkansas and this week’s visit at www.arkansasonline.com/news/2026/may/13/tutoring-firms-must-deliver-reading-results-in/
