We are excited to announce that the district has recently been awarded three grants! The high school has been awarded a $10,000 Project Lead the Way engineering program grant and a $1,500 Arkansas Game and Fish Wildlife Education Program Grant for our shooting sports program.
The middle school has been awarded a $1,225 Arkansas Game and Fish Wildlife Education Program Grant for a rain garden.
Thanks to Courtney Selph and Isaac Blankenship for their work in securing these grants for our school district!
Happy Snow Day, Cougar Nation! We hope you are all staying safe and warm today, but we also hope Cougar Nation families will take some time to get out and enjoy this beautiful snow day! When your crew gets out and about... snap a snow day picture and drop it in the comments... let's see how our #CougarFamily makes the most of a great snow day.
Also stay tuned... we've got snow day activity ideas from our STEM department coming to you soon, and when the snow stops - we'll have a friendly competition for the best snowman!
Have fun and share those pictures!

What a game from our Cougars tonight! In the quarter-final round of the Kell Classic, the Cougars snapped the defending 1A State Champion Marked Tree's 32-game winning streak with a final score of 50-38. Marked Tree is a very talented, well-coached squad, but the Cougars and their coaches were up for the challenge! Izard County was led by Gabe Spray who knocked down an impressive 29 points. Others on the scoreboard include Kade Yancey - 9; Cash Arnhart - 7; Kasen Black - 3; and Sabastion Robbins - 2.
Way to work tonight, boys! We're proud of each of you!
The Cougars move on to the semi-finals on Thursday at 5:00.

We are thrilled to have our amazing teachers back after the Christmas break for a Flex PD day! A big welcome back to Luke Francois, who is leading today’s session. Today’s inservice, paid for by a professional development grant from the state, allows teachers to revisit essential standards and proficiency scales while diving into data from recent ATLAS assessments.
As we prepare to return to school on Tuesday, January 6, we want to include some helpful resources all in one post.
If you need to update your student's contact information for inclement weather announcements, please call their school office.
Please also call the school office before 2 PM any day that your child has transportation changes.
Lastly, we are re-sharing the school calendar. We look forward to seeing all of you soon!
Both of our Senior High Cougar Basketball teams play tonight at the Cougar Den against Harding Academy! Tipoff for Senior Girls will be at 5:30, and the boys will follow.
