It's Career and Technical Ed Month! Today, we want to feature a senior in our Business Program!
🌟 CTE Spotlight: Holley Wood 🌟
The Academics 📚
By the end of her senior year, Holley will have completed three full CTE programs of study:
Retail Management
Digital Marketing
Hospitality & Tourism
The Leadership 🗣️
Holley isn’t just a participant; she is a leader. She has served as an FBLA officer since her freshman year, rising through the ranks from Secretary (9th grade) to Vice President (10th & 11th grade), and now leads the chapter as FBLA President.
Skills in Action: The Inaugural Pickleball Tournament 🥒🏓
Holley is currently putting her CTE skills to the ultimate test by organizing the Inaugural Pickleball Tournament.
-Digital Marketing: She designed a custom website for information and registration.
-Community Partnership: She partnered with the Eureka Springs Community Center.
-Philanthropy: The event supports FBLA initiatives, while a special donation jar will raise funds for Arkansas Alzheimer's to support caregivers of family members with Alzheimer's.
In Her Own Words:
"I highly recommend CTE for students who are looking to expand their abilities and knowledge in a real way that will stick with them for life. Practicing professional relationships, communication, and leadership are some of the most important skills to learn and they are the heart of Business CTE."
Congratulations, Holley (pictured with the camera), on a stellar high school career and best of luck in college studying Business and Accounting!

🐧❄️ Hands-on Science in 2nd Grade! ❄️🐧
Our 2nd graders got a little messy (and very curious) with Crisco and gallon Ziploc bags while testing a big question:
👉 Does “blubber” help keep you warmer in icy water?
After sticking one hand in “blubber” and the other straight into ice water, the verdict was clear—insulation matters! Maybe that’s exactly why seals survive so well in freezing oceans.
Science is more fun when you can feel it! 🧪
