NAESC hosted Senior High Quiz Bowl on February 28th at Ozarka College. All of the teams competed well, and we want to congratulate our top four teams.
This week we had a few of our districts come together for 2 days of learning at the PLC Academy with Tim Brown.
Today we had the opportunity to visit Highland High School during their CTE Showcase. We heard presentations from students that are enrolled in each of their Career & Technical Education Programs of Study. The programs they offer are exceptional and their students are graduating with the skills needed to enter college or the workforce after high school. A variety of partnerships have been established with local businesses and industries as well. Keep up the great work!
The Salem High School Family and Consumer Science Program was awarded a $5,000 Farm to School Kitchen Equipment Grant from the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. This Grant will provide students with new and fun equipment that can help show different ways to cook vegetables, fruits, and nuts. They will learn how to incorporate the fresh produce into their daily lives while also having fun learning new recipes.

Before Christmas break, we had an amazing day helping area students prepare for their future careers by providing mock interviews so that they could practice the skills they have learned in the classroom. Students were also able to hear the presentation "How to Get Fired" from Baxter Health HR Representatives Miranda Bradley and Kim Beavers. Thank you to FNBC, Ozarka College and Representative Steven Walker for taking the time to help us with this! The students did a great job!!
