Mrs. Cindie Escalante was recently recognized with a Badger Pride Award. She was nominated by the AHS Leadership Team. Cindie, a retired math teacher, affectionately known as “Nonna,” volunteers in her daughter Lyndi Greenwich's Algebra 1 classes three to four times each week. She brings her expert teaching skills and patient guidance to small groups, helping them fill learning gaps and build confidence in math. Thanks to Nonna’s dedication, students are not only strengthening their skills but also developing a genuine love for learning. Thank you, Cindie Escalante, for investing your time in our students!

Badger Pride Spotlight!
Congratulations to Alexus, who was nominated by Ms. Tina Calhoon for demonstrating the CKH LeadWorthy character trait of empathy. She goes out of her way to make sure others feel included, whether someone needs a friend, a lab partner, or a little encouragement. Alexus leads with kindness, respect, and care for everyone around her. We are so proud of her example of true Badger leadership. #BadgerPride

This Friday evening, the Senior High Badger Football team travels to Genoa Central near Texarkana.

Due to very limited seating at their stadium, especially on the visitors' side, fans are highly encouraged to bring lawn chairs. Badger fans will be able to set up chairs on the berm, near the scoreboard, or along the visitor bleachers.

In order to ensure plenty of seating for parents, grandparents, and other Badger fans, the band will not be traveling to Genoa Central on Friday night. Due to lost rehearsal time this week, they will stay in Arkadelphia and have practice for their upcoming 4A State Marching Band Championship scheduled for Monday.

We appreciate our fan base and want you to have the best possible experience under the circumstances. Thank you for your continued support. Go Badgers!

At AHS, Magen Atkinson’s Algebra II students have been working on quadratic application activities. Last week, they identified key features of a quadratic graph. Students had to describe and interpret how a quadratic equation represents the path of a football in motion. They used some footage provided by Coach Schucker of Senior Kicker Seth Molinari. What a great way to put math into motion! Mrs. Atkinson's students are truly kicking their learning up a notch!
