Our JAG students recently participated in an interactive activity called “Get Real - Here’s the Deal!” presented by Grant County Cooperative Extension Service Agents Brad McGinley, Susan Thomason, and Josh Beach. Special thanks to Lisa Ray and Jacob Palmer of TMK and Angie Autry of Farm Bureau for joining and supporting the event!

This hands-on simulation gave students the chance to step into real-world financial decision-making. As they moved from station to station — covering housing, utilities, transportation, insurance, child care, groceries, and more — students learned how to make wise financial and lifestyle choices based on their income and family size.

What a valuable learning experience for our future leaders! #YJnation #excellenceeveryday

SHS Introduction to Education students taught their first lessons this week! Under the guidance of Coach Brooks, students presented engaging “How To” lessons to their peers. Topics ranged from curling hair and playing instruments to making paper flowers and learning dance moves. We are so proud of these students and their pursuit of excellence as they prepare for their future careers in education.

Congratulations to this year's winners of the Arkansas School Board Association essay and speech contest: Lillian Baker - 1st place, Kaydence Ratcliff - 2nd place, and Alina Squires - 3rd place. This year's topic was "The Heart of School: What is the most important thing schools should give students--beyond academics--to prepare them for life?" Lillian's speech now advances to the next level where it will go up against winning speeches from across the state. Great job, ladies!
