Cash Arnhart and Megan McBride and their families were invited to attend the Arkansas Governor's Scholastic Honors Day at the Governor's Mansion. Scholastic Honors Day recognizes Arkansas' best and brightest students. What a privilege and an honor to attend this event, and these two Cougars certainly represent the Izard County School District so well!
We're proud of you, Cash and Megan!
Cougar Baseball Fans - there's been a game added to the schedule!
We'll play Flippin on Monday at 4:00 @ home.
Class of 2025, here are the plans for Monday and Tuesday. We can't wait to celebrate you!
We look forward to hosting this event every year! Be sure to join us on Monday @ 6:30 PM in the Fine Arts Building.
Congratulations to upcoming graduate, Makensie Yancey!
Kensie has been a very active student at ICHS. She's a part of CHASE, Student Council, and Beta Club. She plays on the Cougar Softball team and is a member of the 2025 State Champion Basketball Team!
After high school, Kensie plans to attend UACCB for Cosmetology School. After she finishes the program, she plans to further her education more by going to aesthetician school.
Kensie's favorite memory was easy to come up with: "winning state finals with the best group of girls and having the best coach to guide us to winning!"
Kensie, we're very proud of the leadership you've shown through your clubs and teams through the years. You've worked incredibly hard to reach high goals you've set for yourself and your teams, and we couldn't be more proud! Thank you for always showing up and putting your best foot forward... we hope that trait stays with you throughout life! We look forward to following the success we're sure you'll have in your next journeys! Best wishes!
#CougarSeniorSpotlight
Happy School Lunch Hero Day to our amazing cafeteria team! Thank you to Joann, Sue, Sheila, Seth, and Cody for all you do for our middle/high school students and staff. Big thanks also to Brittany, Holly, Tawn and Pam at IC STEM Elementary!
As we get closer to the millage election, we are excited to share locations for some of our proposed plans. We hope to construct two new buildings, one at each campus, that will have storm shelters, classrooms, therapy services, and restrooms. The location at our middle school would also allow us to relocate and improve the playground.
Happy National Principals' Day to Eve Hatman (elementary), David Harmon (K-12 assistant), Sarah Burns (middle school), and Billy McBride (high school)! Thank you for the vital roles you all play at Izard County STEM School, so we can serve every student, every day, whatever it takes. We appreciate you!
It's FINALS GAMEDAY!
Both our Cougar Baseball and Cougar Softball teams will play in the District Tournament Finals this evening at 5:00 at Sloan-Hendrix. The boys will take the field against Cedar Ridge and the girls against Tuckerman.
Let's Go, Cougars & Lady Cougars!

We move the #CougarSeniorSpotlight to Alex Elizabeth O'Connell!
Alex has been a member of BETA Club, Criminal Justice program, Cougar Choir, Cougar Band, and Art. Her future plans include pursuing a degree in psychology while attending Lyon College.
Alex says that Mrs. Phillips has had the greatest impact on her life. She said, "If any teacher has made an impact in my life it would be Mrs.Phillips. She has always been there for me and is always the sweetest person to be around."
Alex, we'll miss your sweet spirit. We hope you'll keep that same attitude as you go in to the next stages of life. Thanks for all the hard work over the years. You'll be missed at ICHS, and we wish you nothing but success!
We move the #Cougar SeniorSpotlight to soon-to-be-graduate, Xander Robins!
Xander's future plans include enlisting in the US Army. His favorite memory is walking around downtown together on the EAST trip and enjoying the company of his classmates and friends. He said it's impossible to pick a teacher that has had the greatest impact on him... "They have all done wonderful jobs connecting and helping their students."
Xander, we'll miss your friendly & easy-going attitude as well as your strong sense of purpose. You'll be an outstanding leader in the military. We've loved seeing your growth and dedication and appreciate your willingness to go the extra mile for your friends. We'll be rooting for you in the future!
You can join the Cougar family!
We would love to talk with you about our school and the amazing opportunities we offer students & families. Call us at 870-258-7700 for more information!

All of these students have been preparing for Microsoft Certification Exams in Mrs. Jackson's Survey of Business class.
The Lady Cougars' game against Sloan-Hendrix has been moved up due to the chances of rain later in the evening... it will begin as soon as the game before it ends... it could be as early as 4:30. Let's help the Lady Cougars beat the Greyhounds and make it to the finals!
Let's go, Lady Cougars!
In an effort to beat tonight's rain, the baseball game has been moved up by 30 minutes. The start time will now be around 5:45 pm. Let's all get to Sloan-Hendrix and help the Cougars get to the finals!
We had a great day at the 2A-2 Senior High Conference Track Meet hosted at ICHS today! The Cougars finished the day with high point winners for both the boys and girls! Congratulations to Hayden Strong and Akynna Nielsen! The Lady Cougars team had the most points ended the day as Conference Champs! The boys are Conference Runners-up! We had a lot of student-athletes qualify for state at today's meet. Stay tuned for an album of today's events and a complete list of state qualifiers.
Way to go, Coach Brody and Cougars!
Thank you to everyone who helped out today and made this event run so smoothly!
Any IC student going into 3rd-6th grade can now sign up for 2025-2026 Mighty Mite Cheerleading. Please contact Chelsea Phillips with any questions.
We don't have all of the details from the game just yet, but we know that the Cougars had a big win in the first round of the District Tournament yesterday! They move on to play the Sloan-Hendrix Greyhounds tomorrow at 6:15 in round two.
Great work, Cougars!
