After successful completion of the PowerPoint unit on Testout, an online IT training courseware that helps prepare students for certification and real-world skills, Mrs. Jackson's Survey of Business students created their own Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with a Halloween theme. They were required to give reasoning or examples of why teens their age should or should not go trick or treating, with slides that included transitions, pictures, and animations. They have done a great job!

We'd like to congratulate Coach Billy McBride and the Lady Cougars who have earned a bid in the 2A State Volleyball Tournament! They've worked incredibly hard all season long. While last night's game didn't end the way they hoped, it absolutely wasn't for a lack of heart or effort. We're beyond proud of the grit that these girls have shown... and we can't wait to cheer them on as they head to STATE next week! Their first state game will be on Tuesday at 5pm at Hackett High School. They'll play Conway St. Joseph. Full brackets can be found here: https://www.si.com/high-school/stats/arkansas/volleyball/brackets/8290 We will post the link to purchase tickets as soon as it is available! Let's go, Lady Cougars!
