Student Spotlight: Jude Manning
AHS 10th Grade Student Jude Manning was recognized in the March Board meeting with a Badger Pride Award. Jude is part of a teen mentorship program called “Beyond the Lens” taught by the professional photographer, Annie Leibovitz. Students were given the prompt, “We are…” and told to take a photo that depicts this phrase. Jude chose to portray “We are Escapist” in his digital self-portrait. His photo and artist statement were selected to be on display at Crystal Bridges Museum. Jude is a student in the Virtual Arkansas Digital Photography I class taught by Ashley White.

Female Leader of the Year- This should be a woman that you think exemplifies being a strong leader in our community.
Woman to Watch of the Year- This should be a woman that you think is making big moves within our community.
Unsung Hero of the Year- This should be a woman that you think does really great things but doesn’t always get the recognition she deserves.
Volunteer of the Year- This should be a woman that greatly commits to herself to volunteering within the community.

FFA makes its way to AHS Campus
Arkadelphia High School and Goza Middle School students had the opportunity to hear from Jason Binz, Arkansas FFA Pathway Director, and four current college students who have been leaders in Future Farmers of America. Our high school students have the option to select a Survey of Agriculture class for next year. The presenters shared the benefits of being involved with FFA and answered questions the Arkadelphia students had about the program. We appreciate Jason and the FFA leaders for coming to meet with our students.

The eclipse weekend had more than a solar event to celebrate. The parents of AHS students sponsored the 2024 Senior and Junior Prom at Henderson State University. Students and guests enjoyed a disco-themed celebration and danced the night away.
