Arkadelphia High School

Before the break, AP Environmental Science students had a blast using bubbles to mimic offspring in a hands-on activity about K-selected vs. r-selected species. K-selected “parents” cared for just a few fragile bubbles, while r-selected “parents” released lots of bubbles with minimal care. A fun way to explore survival strategies in nature!

We are excited to share that four AHS students have met the entry requirements for the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. If their scores place them among the top 50,000 high scorers nationwide, they will be officially recognized within the Merit Scholarship Program in September when qualifying Selection Index scores are announced. Congratulations, Henry Harrell, Hayleigh Lynn, Alaina Metcalf, and Spencer Seel!

• LADY BADGER VOLLEYBALL POST SEASON AWARDS •
Congratulations to the Lady Badger Volleyball players receiving All-Conference and All-State awards for the 2025 season! We are so proud of the team and coaches for their accomplishments this season.

On Friday, to celebrate October 31st, students in Mrs. Greenwich’s Algebra 1 classes solved problems covering the standards they’ve learned so far this year. After completing a set number of problems, they turned them in for a chance to draw a “trick or treat.” 🎃

Last week, students had an opportunity to hear from Mr. Jordan Dennis of Henderson State University's Aviation Department. He spoke with students about Henderson’s Aviation Program and the various career paths within aviation. Mr. Dennis also provided valuable advice on scholarships and how students can begin earning flight hours during the summer. Thank you Mr. Dennis for coming to AHS!

The No Hate Tour came to AHS on Monday afternoon. The Marines and ASA Entertainment travel spreading their message of Bullying Prevention and Mental Health. Their goal is to bring the energy of BMX action sports together with real conversations about bullying prevention, resilience, mental health, inclusion, and choosing positive influences. The riders put their hearts into every show with one goal: to empower students to stand up, support each other, and lead with kindness. It really got fun with the students and staff got involved in the show!
#BullyingPreventionMonth

Earlier this month, a group of AHS students (10th, 11th, and 12th graders) attended an ACT Prep session hosted by Dawson Education Service Cooperative. Students learned helpful strategies to boost their ACT scores. We’re so grateful for our partnership with Dawson and the opportunities they provide for our students.
