Last night, we celebrated one of the longest-tenured educators to walk the halls of our school district. ✨ Glenn A. Duffy Elementary's 1st-grade teacher - Ms. Margaret Martin ✨ Ms. Martin was hired at 22 years old in 1970 as a first-year teacher (straight out of college from John Brown University). She went on to have a 54-year teaching legacy all within the Gravette School District. Ms. Martin is now 76 years old and has "only known school" for her entire life. We are honored to have been a part of her journey teaching generations of families. Happy retirement, dear friend! 🧡 #oncealionalwaysalion #experiencethelionpride

🌟🎉 We have some incredible news to share! 🌟🎉
Three of our amazing GHS seniors who attend NWTI classes in the Western Benton County Career Center, hosted within the Gravette School District, have just achieved something truly extraordinary. Brantley Jones (automotive student), Acey Funk, and Alex Pendleton (both welding students) have all secured GOLD medals at the recent SkillsUSA Competition in Hot Springs, AR!
Their outstanding performance has earned them the prestigious opportunity to represent us at the Nationals in Atlanta, GA. But the journey doesn't stop there—success could take them all the way to Worlds in Paris, France!
We are immensely proud of Brantley, Acey, and Alex, and their dedication to excellence. Their success is a testament to the hard work and passion they've put into their automotive and welding studies.
At the Gravette School District, we understand that every student learns differently, and success comes in many forms. We're honored to provide avenues for students like Brantley, Acey, and Alex to pursue their passions and achieve their dreams.
Congratulations, boys! Your accomplishments inspire us all. 🏅🚗🔥 If you want to see more content related to this, go give our Western Benton County Career Center Facebook page a like and follow! #SkillsUSA #NationalsBound #GravettePride
