Who needs scratch paper when you can write on the table?
Mrs. Hickman’s math students at the Jr. High are putting their knowledge of exponent rules to work on her new high-top dry erase tables! Students can work through problems, collaborate with classmates, and show their thinking right at their seats.
The new tables were purchased through a grant from the Mountain Home Education Foundation, helping bring another hands-on learning opportunity into the classroom.
We love seeing our students learning , and our MHEF grants at work!

Learning from those who serve!
Criminal Justice students had the opportunity to hear firsthand from Sgt. Jackie Stinnett, Cpl. Clint Henderson, and Cpl. Kevin Helm of the Arkansas State Police.
After learning about careers in law enforcement in the classroom, students were able to hear directly from the troopers about their roles, career paths, and what it takes to serve in law enforcement.
Before the visit was over, Sgt. Stinnett did a little career exploration of his own! He climbed into one of our Aviation Program flight simulators and successfully took off in a commercial airliner!
We appreciate Sgt. Stinnett, Cpl. Henderson, and Cpl. Helm for taking the time to share their experiences with our students and give them a real-world look at careers in law enforcement.
