FBLA was honored to have Mr. Donald Westerman from the Arkadelphia Alliance lead a discussion on “Opportunities = Advantage.” He encouraged members to recognize and take advantage of what’s offered within our local labor market area as they plan for their future careers in the workforce.

These sessions will take place every 2nd Wednesday of the month and give students the chance to gain valuable insight about the workforce, the world, and their futures.

Members of the Arkadelphia JROTC were on hand last Saturday to assist with the Soldiers of Service Never Forget 5K. They cheered on the runners that included their own Badger Battalion Cadet Jordan Askew as he completed the race. A great event remembering the heroes of 9-11.

The AHS Capturing Kids' Hearts Process Champions team showed their appreciation to the AHS Staff this afternoon by treating them to Sip Sip Hooray — a fun soda & water bar. They had the opportunity to “leaf” an affirmation for a couple of their amazing co-workers, too!

The 2025 Homecoming Court was announced on Friday. Congratulations to the following senior ladies:

At this month’s school board meeting, we recognized the AHS JROTC Badger Battalion, nominated by Col. Parsons & Sgt. Ward, for their outstanding achievement. JROTC Student Leadership Seth Molinari and Caleb Yepez were present to accept the award.

The Badger Battalion was recently named an Honor Unit of Distinction for the 2024–25 school year by the Cadet Command, 5th Brigade Commander. This prestigious honor reflects the dedication, discipline, and hard work of our cadets and leaders.

We are so proud of them! Way to represent Arkadelphia with excellence! 💙❤️

Many of our students participated in last week’s Clark County Fair festivities. We would like to congratulate all our students on their participation and achievements, from showing livestock to talent competitions, crafts, royalty, 4-H, and beyond.

We extend our congratulations to the Goza and AHS FFA members on their results during the livestock show and thank adviser Sammy Cox for his time and instruction involving the fair.

Proud of all of you!
