On Monday, Dec. 4, members of the CSforAR team from the Arkansas Department of Education spent the day on the Sheridan High School campus. Students in grades 9-12 participated in a Jeopardy-style Cybersecurity Capture the Flag Event (a CTF event), where they were provided hundreds of challenges that varied by category and complexity. Students were tasked with solving challenges around networking, website development, cryptography, programming, digital forensics, reverse engineering, physical challenges (like building a network cable), and more.

Sheridan FFA hosted its first Pack Shack Party in November. The Feed the Funnel Party consisted of 31 Sheridan FFA Members and 78 other SHS students from Student Counsel, JROTC, NHS, FCCLA, and a few other groups. A Feed the Funnel Party consists of participants measuring, weighing, mixing, heat-sealing, and boxing individual non-perishable meals that are shelf-stable for one year. All together, those 109 students packed 40,914 meals in just under 2 hours! The party and all of the meals were paid for by Blue Cross using a Blue and You Grants. The Grant County Fair board graciously loaned the group the Shelby Taylor Exhibit Building to host the party. All 40,914 meals were donated to Grant County food pantries including IBC, Kathy's Closet, First Landmark, the Women's Shelter, and the SHS Backpack Program.
Sheridan High School recently hosted a Jacket Time assembly for seniors making post-secondary plans. Guest speakers shared guidance and insight about scholarship opportunities, future careers, and other post-graduation ventures. Mayor Cain Nattin presented Superintendent Dr. Karla Neathery with a special proclamation for the American College Application Campaign, designed to increase the number of students who apply to and enroll in certification programs, trade schools, military, and college with a particular focus on first-generation college bound students and students from low-income families. It was a delight seeing some lucky attendees walk away with fantastic door prizes, adding excitement to an already fun and informative event! Special thank you to our sponsors whose support made our event even more special and memorable for these students.
