We appreciate Staff Sergeant Blake Nesbitt and the Army National Guard for providing a wonderful lunch from Ouachita Valley Meats for the AHS Staff on Monday of our Back-to-School professional development. He also shared with teachers topics that he can present in their classrooms, from resume writing to the history of the American flag. Thank you!

The school year is off to a great start! Right now, students are meeting in their TAG groups during the RTI period. Mrs. Sarah Brawley had her group team building with Pass the Clap ice breaker activity on Wednesday. Let's go Badgers!

The criteria for the ranking are based on survey feedback from students and parents, accounting for reviews of athletics, number of state championships, student participation in athletics, and the number of sports offered at the school, as well as data from the U.S. Department of Education.

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. 💙
