It was truly inspiring to see the passion and care so many people have for Brookland schools. The conversations, questions, and involvement on both sides of the issue reflect a community that deeply values its students and its future.
We are grateful to serve a community that cares so strongly about its schools, and we remain committed to providing the very best for our students every single day.
This morning, students put FFA values into action by preparing pancakes and all the fixings for our staff. Their willingness to serve, show appreciation, and give back speaks volumes about the character this organization helps build.
FFA is more than agriculture — it’s leadership, service, teamwork, and community. Today was a perfect reminder that the lessons learned go far beyond the classroom. We are proud of our students and grateful for the positivity they bring to our school each day!
To help students navigate their daily challenges, dedicated wellness toolkits are now available in both the Guidance Office and the Oral Communications classroom. These resources are designed to provide encouragement, support, and practical tools whenever they are needed.
Individually, Riley Williams delivered an exceptional performance, placing 5th overall out of 82 of the best bowlers in the state. America Haughey also had a strong showing, earning 10th overall individually. Both athletes earned spots on the Overall State Team.
We are incredibly proud of these young women for their perseverance, teamwork, and competitive excellence at the state level.
High School Counselor Brittany Akin has been named the Northeast Region Secondary Counselor of the Year, an honor that reflects her commitment to supporting, guiding, and advocating for our students each and every day.
We also congratulate Assistant Principal Crystal Fluker on being selected to serve as the President of the Arkansas Association of Middle Level Administrators (AAMLA), beginning this summer. This prestigious leadership role highlights her expertise and the respect she has earned across the state.
We are incredibly proud of Mrs. Akin and Mrs. Fluker! Their leadership, passion, and commitment to excellence represent what it means to be a Bearcat!
Congratulations, Mrs. Akin and Mrs. Fluker — and Go Bearcats! 🐾
Big congratulations to our very own high school counselor, Mrs. Akin, for being named Northeast Arkansas Secondary School Counselor of the Year!
A proud Brookland alum, she truly bleeds Bearcat pride and pours her heart into our students and community every day. We are so proud to call her ours!
We are looking for local businesses and organizations who would like to participate and connect with our students as they explore future career opportunities. This is a great way to showcase your company, share industry insights, and inspire the next generation of professionals.
If your business is interested in participating, please send Mrs. Clairday an email for more details.
Go Bearcats!! Lots of things to celebrate!
A huge shoutout to our Girls Basketball Team, who fought back from a 20-point deficit to defeat Pocahontas yesterday afternoon. With that win, they are headed to Regionals!
