Just one blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence may double the chances of developing melanoma later in life. At the State Board of Education's February meeting, Miss Arkansas Teen, Mallory Stuckey, a student at Rison High School, shared her concerns about the sun's effects on unprotected skin and requested that the board declare May 6-May 10 as Sun Safety Week. Miss Stuckey again appeared before the State Board of Education at its meeting on April 11, 2024, where the board signed the declaration. As we get closer to Summer Break - We want to share these good reminders with our Bobcat Families!

It’s another great day to be a Bobcat! Berryville High School has earned a high National ranking in 2024 Best High Schools, U.S. News released recently! Administration was notified that the school was ranked in the top 40% of nearly all public high schools nationwide---18,000 of them---based on multiple sources of objective data. U.S. News provides rankings based on indicators such as enrollment, student body demographics, location, school type and results of state assessments, as well as Advanced Placement (AP).

Tonight at the school board of education meeting, Mr. Powell recognized school board president, Chad Hipps for 10 years of service on the Berryville School board. It was also very fitting that a group of second graders presented their research tonight to the board members on which monkey bars should be placed on the elementary playground. You see, in January for board appreciation month, school board members were presented with many letters of appreciation from students. Chad promised that every single letter would be read. To follow up on that promise, Chad made mention at the next (February) board meeting that students were requesting monkey bars for their playground. The students returned this month with their research. Chad made one final request to the Board of Education of the Berryville School District, and that was to purchase and install monkey bars on the elementary playground. Thank you, Chad, for ten years of service to the Berryville School District!

School will not be in session for students on March 14 & 15. March 14 is Parent Teacher Conferences. Each school will communicate specific information for their building. March 15 is a Professional Development Day for our staff.
