Learning Beyond the Classroom!
Mr. Clairday’s Plant Science class recently visited Black Oak Gin to learn about the cotton ginning process and the history of the gin. Students also visited a field where cotton was actively being harvested, giving them a firsthand look at the ins and outs of operating a modern-day cotton picker.
We love seeing our students gain real-world, hands-on experiences that connect what they learn in the classroom to agriculture in action!

Celebrating Excellence—And Striving for More! 🏆📚
At Monday night’s school board meeting, we had the honor of celebrating our dedicated administrators, principals, and school board members for some extraordinary milestones across Brookland Public Schools:
✨ An "A" Rating from the Arkansas Department of Education: Our district was recently awarded an "A" rating, scoring in the 96th percentile of all public and charter schools in Arkansas! This achievement reflects the vision of our school board, the unwavering leadership of our principals and administrators, unmatched community and family support, and most of all, the hard work of our educators and students.
🏅 #2 Athletic Program in Arkansas: We also recognized our Athletic Department for finishing #2 statewide in the MaxPreps Cup rankings! Huge congratulations to Athletic Director Bobby Gross, Assistant Athletic Director Mark Hindsley, our coaches, student-athletes, and supportive Bearcat families for making us one of the elite programs in the state.
While we take great pride in these milestones, we are far from finished!
Success isn't a finish line—it’s our baseline. We remain fully committed to growing, pushing boundaries, and delivering student outcomes that stand among the absolute best in Arkansas.
The bar has been set... now it’s time to raise it. 🐾🔴

Join us for important information about the FAFSA and Arkansas Scholarships.
October is National Principals Month, and we are incredibly grateful for the six leaders who serve our students, staff, and families each day across the Brookland School District. ❤️🖤
Being a principal is about so much more than leading a school. It means showing up early, staying late, making difficult decisions, celebrating victories, navigating challenges, supporting teachers, encouraging students, and being there for families and our community. It is a job that requires tremendous heart, patience, wisdom, and commitment.
To Tyler Golden, Jared Richey, Josh Wright, Jennifer Jaynes, Sandy McCall, and Jennifer Easley — thank you for the countless hours, the sacrifices, the conversations, the problem-solving, and the care you pour into your schools every single day.
Each of you leads differently, but you share something incredibly important: a genuine commitment to doing what is best for kids. Your leadership makes a difference, not only in the lives of the students you serve today, but in the culture and future of the Brookland School District.
We are fortunate to have you leading our schools, and we are deeply appreciative of everything you do.
Happy National Principals Month! We are proud of our principals! 🐾❤️🖤
