It takes a lot of hard work behind the scenes to host an event as large as the Chamber Annual Meeting, and our students were up to the task!
A huge shoutout to the Harrison High School FBLA and Business students who stepped up to serve at today’s event at Signature Tower. These students worked hard throughout the program, serving the meal and ensuring everything stayed running smoothly by bussing tables for hundreds of guests.
We are so proud of the work ethic and professionalism these Goblins displayed today. They represented Harrison Schools with a "service first" attitude in front of our entire business community!
Way to go, team!

During today’s Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce' Annual Meeting, Harrison Middle School teacher Stephanie Benton was awarded the Jerry McFarland Outstanding Youth/Youth Organization Award. This honor specifically highlights her incredible leadership of the student-led "Homegrown Stories" project. This initiative is a shining example of real-world learning. Under Stephanie’s guidance, students interviewed local farmers, authored, and published their first book, Farmer Jack and the Never Ending Puzzle. The project has been such a success that it was recently selected to be presented at the National Ag in the Classroom Conference in Rhode Island! We are so proud of Stephanie for empowering our students to become authors, historians, and community ambassadors. Please join us in congratulating her on this well-deserved recognition!
The Harrison High School Chamber Singers brought a powerful sense of tradition and talent to today’s Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting.
Standing right in the center of the action at Signature Tower, our talented student vocalists—under the direction of Molly Magouyrk—delivered a truly beautiful and moving performance of the National Anthem.
It was a proud moment for Harrison Schools to have our students’ voices fill the room, performing for an audience that included many state and local dignitaries. We are so impressed by the poise and professionalism these singers displayed in representing our district on such a prominent stage today!

Today's Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting at Signature Tower kicked off with a truly special moment as a delightful group of Harrison Preschool students led the room in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Standing tall alongside the Arkansas National Guard Color Guard, these students reminded us all why the future of Harrison is so bright. We are so proud of our youngest learners for representing Harrison Schools with such poise and heart in front of our local business community!
Thank you to the Chamber for featuring our students so prominently in this year’s program.

Another Familiar Face at UCA!

From Harrison to Speech Pathology!
The UCA Teacher Fair in Conway continues to be a great day for Harrison Schools! We just had another wonderful surprise when Lindsey Whisenhunt stopped by the booth to catch up.
Lindsey is a proud 2020 Harrison graduate now excelling in her graduate studies at UCA. She is specializing in Communication Sciences & Disorders (Speech Pathology) and is on track to complete her program in August 2026.
It is so rewarding to see our alumni pursuing specialized careers that make such a massive impact on the lives of children. Way to go, Lindsey! We are incredibly proud of your dedication to helping others find their voice.

Spotlighting a Future Educator!
Harrison Schools is having a great day at the UCA Teacher Fair in Conway, and it’s even better when a familiar face stops by the booth!
It was a joy to catch up with Faith Nix, a 2022 Harrison graduate. Faith is currently at UCA studying Elementary Education and is on track to join the teaching profession in 2026.
There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a former student chasing their passion for education.
Harrison is so proud of you, Faith—keep up the hard work!

Harrison Schools - A foundation of this community for generations. We’re proud of our history, but we’re even more excited about our future!
How many generations of Goblins are in your family?
Mrs. Lunsford’s Middle School class kicked off the Valentine’s weekend with a STEM showdown last Friday!
Students used marshmallows, gummies, and toothpicks to compete for the "Longest Bridge" title. It took creativity, steady hands, and a little bit of sugar to get the job done.
Check out their creations!
