It’s always an exciting day when we have Open House for a new school year! 🎉 We had an amazing turnout on each campus, including the Goza 5th Grade and AHS 9th Grade orientation—so many smiling faces ready for a great year ahead. 🐾
Thank you to our parents and guardians for showing up and supporting your child’s education. We appreciate our teachers, administrators, and support staff for their efforts in preparing for this day.
The first day of school is Wednesday, August 13th.
It’s always a great day to be a Badger! 💙❤️

It's going to be another great year for the Arkadelphia Band Program!

This summer, we want to shine a spotlight on our 2025 Arkadelphia Faculty Graduates. The Spotlight today is on Goza Social Studies Teacher Michael Ankton. Mr. Ankton graduated in May from Henderson State University with his Building Level, Master of Science in Educational Leadership. Mr. Ankton was also recently reappointed to the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission Teacher Leader Council for the 2025-26 school year. He serves as the Clark County Justice of the Peace for District 2. Congratulations to Mr. Ankton on your outstanding accomplishments! #BadgerPride

Arkadelphia Public School District is working with local officials to assess the transportation situation for Monday’s school day. Below are the current changes to bus routes for Monday. School officials will be talking with local law officials this afternoon, and we will pass on more updates as they come. Thank you for being so patient as we get this information to you. **Parents–if our buses cannot get to your bus stop or you are unable to get your child to school due to the effects of the storms, please call your child’s school once the school office is open for an excused absence. As of Sunday, April 6th, the following routes will be affected on Monday, April 7: -Route 14 (Manchester/Dalark) cannot run at all. -Route 1 (Joan) will pick up normal times, but may arrive a few minutes late for school because they will have to come into town through Donaldson. -Route 17 (Open Banks) will be able to run the in-town portion of the route, but will not be able to go down past the church on 3rd Street or Open Banks. -Route 13 (Okolona) will have to come into town via I-30 because the Hwy. 51/53 junction is washed out. The bus will not be able to pick-up students on Bateman Road or Shilo Road because the bridge on Bateman Road is washed out. We will continue to update the page linked below on our website as information becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding. https://www.arkadelphiaschools.org/article/2131557

We want to express our deep gratitude to everyone who came together on Tuesday night for Parent Night at Goza. It was a powerful evening of connection, learning, and meaningful conversation focusing on Bullying Awareness. A huge thank you to our amazing students who performed the skit "A Little Lunch." 🎭 Their portrayal of the challenges some students face in the school cafeteria sheds light on important issues like peer pressure, exclusion, and bullying. A special thank you to Candiss Bennett from Dawson Education Cooperative for her insightful presentation. We appreciate the feedback from parents following the presentation. We know that addressing issues like bullying takes ongoing effort, but with the strength and support of our community, we’re confident we can make a positive difference. Together, we can continue to create a school environment where every student feels valued and safe. 💙
