What a game from our Cougars tonight! In the quarter-final round of the Kell Classic, the Cougars snapped the defending 1A State Champion Marked Tree's 32-game winning streak with a final score of 50-38. Marked Tree is a very talented, well-coached squad, but the Cougars and their coaches were up for the challenge! Izard County was led by Gabe Spray who knocked down an impressive 29 points. Others on the scoreboard include Kade Yancey - 9; Cash Arnhart - 7; Kasen Black - 3; and Sabastion Robbins - 2.
Way to work tonight, boys! We're proud of each of you!

We are thrilled to have our amazing teachers back after the Christmas break for a Flex PD day! A big welcome back to Luke Francois, who is leading today’s session. Today’s inservice, paid for by a professional development grant from the state, allows teachers to revisit essential standards and proficiency scales while diving into data from recent ATLAS assessments.
As we prepare to return to school on Tuesday, January 6, we want to include some helpful resources all in one post.
If you need to update your student's contact information for inclement weather announcements, please call their school office.
Please also call the school office before 2 PM any day that your child has transportation changes.
Lastly, we are re-sharing the school calendar. We look forward to seeing all of you soon!
