A "Badger Pride" Twist
There’s holiday spirit, and then there’s Arkadelphia High School holiday spirit! 🦡🎄
Monday's contest winners definitely understood the assignment.
⭐ Mrs. McDaniel stole the show (and the staff win) by featuring some familiar faces on her sweater... who knew Coach Smith and Ms. Hunley made such great elves?
⭐ Keaton brought the holiday style to take home the student victory!
Congratulations to our winners and everyone who dressed up (including the English Department on Plaid Day)!

The holiday spirit at Peake Elementary is officially TREE-mendous! 🌲✨
Yesterday was our Ugly Sweater Contest, but these outfits were absolute works of art. 🥇 Sophia Vo took home the student win with her elves! 🥇 Ms. Sherman grabbed the staff win with a TikTok-inspired look that transforms from a garland to a wreath!
You can check out more photos of Peake students on their Facebook page. You all sleighed the competition! 🛷🎅

Goza Middle School Got into the Holiday Spirit! 🎄✨Yesterday, Goza students and staff participated in our annual (Festive) Ugly Sweater Contest. We loved seeing everyone's unique take on holiday fashion!
Congratulations to our campus winners:
Kendall Smith took home the student prize for her fantastic homemade ensemble.
Mr. Dan Dawson secured the staff win with a "vintage" look—sporting a very form-fitting sweater with a non-functional Rudolph nose.
Congrats! Thank you to all the staff and students who dressed up and made the day so festive.

The Arkadelphia Promise has announced the November Teacher of the Month, Barbara Hesse.
Ms. Hesse is a 3rd-grade teacher at Peake Elementary School. She is an amazing teacher for her students. Ms. Hesse is also a leader, mentor, and great support to her colleagues, especially her third-grade teaching team. She truly demonstrates excellence in the classroom, a passion for student success, and an unwavering dedication to the teaching profession that the Arkadelphia Promise Foundation is looking to recognize as Teacher of the Month.
In appreciation of her impact, Ms. Hesse was presented with a cash award. The award was made possible by the late Janice Stanford’s remarkable generosity through a recent legacy donation to the Arkadelphia Promise Foundation.
Congratulations, Barbara Hesse! Thank you for your commitment to academic excellence throughout your years in education.

Did you know that December 8-14 is #CSEdWeek?
Computer Science continues to grow in Arkansas. The Arkansas Department of Education requires computer science experiences throughout grades K-12, and every high school student must earn at least one CS credit to graduate. Why? Because technology is everywhere—from our phones to our cars!
We talked with AHS Computer Science teacher, Mrs. Stefanie Davis, about why this matters.
💻Why is CS important? "Computer science teaches you how the technology you use every day actually works... When you learn computer science, you get better at solving problems, thinking creatively, and staying safe online," says Mrs. Davis.
💻 What is class like? Mrs. Davis loves connecting the curriculum to real life. "We talk about things like AI, social media, and staying safe online... I also love how we get to have fun, active conversations about tech, and I throw in some 'back in my day' stories about how much technology has changed in the last 20–30 years!"
🚀 The Future of CS at AHS: Currently, students can take Introduction to Computer Science, but steps are being made to implement a full Career Pathway for Software Development.
This week, students are working on activities from the CS Week Choice Board. Happy Computer Science Education Week, Badgers! 💻
