Mrs. Robin Jones and Mrs. Heather Crocker were recognized at the May School Board meeting with a Badger Pride Award. They worked extremely hard with the Arkadelphia High School parent group and students to make sure the 2026 Prom was a memorable experience. The goal was for everyone to have a fun, safe time and for students to remain at the event for the entire evening. Through their leadership, numerous prizes were awarded to students throughout the night, including televisions, dorm refrigerators, and gift certificates.

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.
