Students worked together to clean up the outdoor cafeteria area, showing pride in their school and care for the environment. After their hard work, they had a blast playing with balloons to wrap up the day with some well-deserved fun! 🌎 🐾
Izard County STEM Elementary Principal Eve Hatman recently graduated from Phase 3 of the prestigious Master Principal program. The Arkansas Leadership Academy’s (ALA) Master Principal Program (MPP) was established through the passage of Act 44 of the Second Extraordinary Session of the 2003 Arkansas General Assembly to provide “training programs and opportunities to expand the knowledge base and leadership skills of public school principals.” Phase 3 is the final step of the training program before designation.

We had five students recognized on the big stage at state convention for participating in the World Food Prize competition. Those students were Hayden Shaver, Payson Speake, Maylea Stevens, Maddie Tanner, and Makaelynn Wood.
Students who participate in the Arkansas Youth Institute earn recognition as a Borlaug Scholar, and qualify for internships and further opportunities.
At this exciting event, participating high school students have the opportunity to:
Present research and recommendations on ways to solve key global challenges in a short speech and small group discussions with statewide experts;
Connect with other student leaders from across Arkansas to share ideas, identify solutions to these problems and build lasting friendships;
Explore the issues, current research and opportunities to make a difference at the University of Arkansas; and
Interact with global leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs in Arkansas working to end hunger and poverty and improve food security around the world.
Papers were evaluated by The World Food Prize Board of Reviewers. This distinguished group of educators and experts was established to mentor and personally encourage students as well as interviewed participants in a group discussion setting.
We are so proud of these students for their hard work and pushing them selves out of their comfort zones in the hopes of making a global impact. Good job everyone! We are proud of you!
We are currently at the Arkansas FFA State Convention. Yesterday we sent Chapter President, Akynna Nielsen on stage to accept the National Chapter Award on behalf of ICC FFA!
This award recognizes FFA chapters that actively implement the mission and strategies of the organization. It also emphasizes growing leaders, building communities and strengthening agriculture as well as providing educational experiences! Congratulations, ICC FFA!
Congratulations to upcoming Class of 2025 graduate, Addi Sutherland!
After graduation, Addi plans to pursue a career in Criminology working in the Criminal Investigations Division.
When asked about the teacher who has had the greatest impact on her, Addi said, "Officer Brett. No matter what color the world was in my eyes, he always made me see through to a future. What I mean by that is the support system he carried me with and the faith he had made me see that I could do anything I wanted to do. He’s taught me that anything is possible and that your future holds more than your past."
Addi, we'll miss your sweet personality and great attitude. We love that you're always willing to learn, and we're confident that this trait can take you very far in life. We look forward to following your successes in the next chapter! Congratulations!
