Attention Parents of 2025-2026 AHS Freshmen!
Please mark your calendars for Freshmen Orientation on Thursday, August 7th at 1:00 p.m. This will give students and their families the opportunity to hear from the AHS Leadership. It will also provide time for students to walk through the halls with their schedule and become familiar with common areas in the building.
We will see you on August 7th!
This week, AHS JROTC Instructors Colonel Robert Parsons and SFC Jeffrey Ward accompanied three AHS JROTC Students to the Arkansas Junior Cadet Leadership Camp (JCLC). The training involved a variety of areas including flight operations. The group left Monday morning for Camp Robinson in North Little Rock and return Friday after their graduation ceremony. Congratulations to Dillon Botsford, Xavier Moreno, and Caleb Yepez on taking on this opportunity to enhance your leadership skills!
Twelve senior students have completed the required 60 hours of coursework to sit for the Arkansas Real Estate exam, thanks to a collaborative partnership between local businesses, organizations, and McGraw Realty from Benton, Arkansas.
This unique opportunity was made possible through the dedicated instruction of Kim Gaines of McGraw Realty, who came to campus for eight days throughout the second semester to lead the comprehensive training sessions. Her expertise and commitment provided students with the knowledge and preparation needed to pursue licensure in real estate.
This program would not have been possible without the generous support of community sponsors. Crye-Leike of Arkadelphia sponsored four students, generously covering all meals for the duration of the program and hosting a celebratory meal upon its completion. The Ross Foundation provided full sponsorships for six students. Patterson Federal Credit Union sponsored one student, while Southern Bancorp and Java Primo partnered to provide additional meals for participants.
Given the program’s success, plans are underway to offer it again next year, allowing even more students the chance to explore career pathways in real estate.
The AHS 2024-2025 Fourth Grading Period and Second Semester Honor Rolls.
The two-weeks preceding semester exams, our BX3 team challenged the students to a "no tardy" competition. The winning 9th graders had a total of 9,920 chances to be on time to class — and they showed up on time 9,818 times! That’s only 102 tardies across the entire grade… a 99% punctuality rate!
To celebrate their incredible effort, we threw a No Tardy Party on May 15th! Students enjoyed donuts, OJ, Yoo-hoos, and had a blast with games, dancing, and lots of laughter. It was a great way to reward their responsibility and start the day with joy.
Check out some of the fun in the pictures below!
Special memories from Teacher Appreciation Week 2025. The AHS Paraprofessionals presented the Special Education Teachers at AHS with color-coordinated gift buckets! Reading Teacher Joan Crowder received flowers from her mom for Teacher Appreciation Week, and students showed their appreciation by participating in TAW Spirit Days. 💙
Congratulations to Coach Drew Loe and Arkadelphia Badger Baseball on their outstanding season!
We also congratulate the players who have received special recognition for their accomplishments this year.

A group of Arkadelphia High School students recently had the opportunity to tour the Veolia facilities. Veolia is the world’s largest environmental services company and a key manufacturer right here in Clark County. Thank you to Carla Herron and Veolia for hosting our students!
Junior Clark Wingfield was recently recognized at the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion for his artwork “Legacy on Pine Street." Clark's artwork was selected from students all across the state based on the theme of Arkansas History. Congratulations, Clark on being honored!
Congratulations to Freshmen English Teacher Grant Reimers for being named the Arkadelphia High School Teacher of the Year!
Mr. Reimers goes above and beyond every day. On "Dress Like a Teacher Day", some students chose to dress like him. He encourages the students in their academics but also in their extracurricular activities. One student described him this way, “I think it was laying out clear, simple ground rules day one. Your logical, yet lovable demeanor commanded the classroom more than any other teacher.” Thank you, Mr. Reimers, for all you do!

AP Physics 1 students have been studying fluids for their final unit this year. Students in Mrs. Atkinson’s class were challenged to apply their knowledge of fluid forces, buoyancy, and density to design and build a “boat” that could hold a 1kg mass for at least 30 seconds without sinking or taking on water. They were limited to using only basic household items and had a budget of $10 per group. Students did an amazing job with this project, not only having fun but also showing off all they have learned about physics!
