October is National Principals Month!
Today, we celebrate Callie Hunley, the principal at Arkadelphia High School. Ms. Hunley loves being the principal for two main reasons. First, she says, it’s all about the kids. She loves the students, of all ages. She is in her third year as AHS Principal. Before Ms. Hunley became the high school principal, she served for seven years as the Perritt Primary School Principal. Ms. Hunley also loves being the principal at Arkadelphia High School because of the wonderful staff.
Ms. Hunley, we think you are amazing! Thank you for loving our students and for leading the AHS staff. We appreciate all you do!

“First, I love my students! It is so amazing to watch them grow physically and academically from the beginning of the year to the end. Getting to know them, seeing their smiles, and accepting their hugs and greetings, makes me look forward to coming to work every day!
Second, we have a fantastic staff who work hard every day to help ensure the success of our students.
