The Arkadelphia Promise has announced the November Teacher of the Month, Mr. Michael Ankton.
Mr. Ankton is a 7th and 8th-grade Social Studies teacher at Goza Middle School. He is the Student Council Sponsor and has coordinated the effort to bring the Arkansas Game and Fish Conservation Leadership to Goza Middle School. Mr. Ankton is in his third year at Goza.
He is a 2019 graduate of Arkadelphia High School. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Science in Educational Leadership (Building Level) at Henderson State University. He is now working on an Educational Doctorate in Rural and Diverse Educational Leadership at SAU.

Badger Pride Spotlight! At October's school board meeting, Ms. Rose Easley nominated Arkadelphia High’s Anayeli Chevales for showing the CKH Leadworthy trait of Empathy. During “Good Things,” Anayeli encouraged a normally quiet classmate to share and made him feel included with a simple, kind word. Small moments can make a big difference!
Way to go Anayeli!
