Gravette agricultural education has been awarded a $10,000 grant from Build My Future NWA to support and enhance the Agricultural Mechanics program.
With this grant, we will be able to replace welding equipment, some of which has been in use for over 30 years. The funds will also be invested in other modern shop tools. We look forward to our students attending the annual Build My Future career fair this spring to connect with industry professionals.
A sincere thank you to Build My Future NWA for their support. And thanks to the Gravette FFA Chapter for sharing this great news on their Facebook page. Follow them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GravetteHSFFA 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
At the Walmart Museum, kids had a guided tour that focused on the company's core values. They learned how Sam Walton's foundational principles, like leadership through service, guided the business and continue to shape its culture.
Following the museum, the group took a tour with the Bentonville History Museum. They learned about the city's past, including how the town had to rebuild multiple times after fires, and saw historical details like signs of firearm use still visible on the pillars of a downtown building.
This field trip was a practical way for our kids to see how business principles, history, and community resilience all work together. Thank you to Mrs. Moots for sharing hands-on learning opportunities with students and photos from the trip! 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
⛰️ We've got some updates from Mr. Pittman's Outdoor Pursuits program at Gravette High School. Students recently spent time fishing at Lake Atalanta, practicing a little trap shooting, and floating the Elk River as part of their highly coveted educational excursions. As always, the real lesson is that when we approach the world hands-on, with curiosity and humility, learning can happen everywhere, all the time.
Earlier in the month, on October 1 and 2, the class visited Lake Atalanta in Rogers. As part of Arkansas's "Family and Community Fishing Program," this reservoir provides a great opportunity to practice casting from the boardwalks and learn about the types of fish stocked in our local lakes, including channel catfish and rainbow trout.
The class also participated in a trap shooting excursion. Trap shooting is a marksmanship discipline that involves shooting clay targets launched into the air. This activity is a practical way to reinforce firearm safety, focus, and responsibility under the guidance of trained instructors.
Most recently, the kids got the chance to pack up their bookbags and float the Elk River during a school day! Located in the beautiful Ozark mountains, this waterway is a popular route for recreational canoeing, kayaking, and rafting. Its waters stretch long and leisurely, winding through scenic bluffs, with a gentle final mile perfect for unwinding after a day of paddling (and disputes over who's responsible for the constant rightward drift). This trip gave our students hands-on experience navigating currents and practicing skills needed for a successful day on the water. We are grateful to our partners at Big Elk Floats for helping make this possible.
Gravette High School is proud to offer a program that goes beyond fun field trips to equip students with practical, lifelong skills that apply to our local environment. Thank you to Coach Pittman for sharing with the kids an appreciation for the natural world and the good fortune we have to live in Northwest Arkansas. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🚌 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.

It is easy to overlook the steady work and personal sacrifices that leadership requires when we rely on these individuals every day. Today we're taking a moment to express our gratitude for their guidance, knowledge, and commitment. The district would not function without them.
The Administrative Assistant and Communications teams partnered to share a simple gesture of appreciation, a homemade cinnamon roll from Granny’s Simple Blessings bakery and a card for each leader. Their collaboration and understanding of our community make Gravette a stronger district. They are the glue that holds everything together.
Mr. Gravette, The Vision
Leadership with integrity.
Rebecca Andrews, The Team Builder
Fostering trust and ensuring success for both students and staff.
Richard Carver, The Foundation
Maintaining the systems that keep school operations moving every day. He wasn't around when we stopped by, likely working on something far more important.
Daniel Rice, The Connector
Nothing works without him.
Coach Andrew Vire, The Spirit
Guiding the team and creating opportunities for students.
Tyler Matlock, The Support
Ensuring no child is left behind through compassion and understanding.
Sheila Roughton, The Fuel

Each leader represents a vital piece of the puzzle that makes up the whole picture of our district. We also extend our gratitude to the other leaders who serve our students every day, including Lisa Thrailkill, Director of ESOL and Migrant Services, Rachel Gibson, Director of GATE, and all of our building principals.
Thank you, district leadership, for everything that you do for our staff, students, and community. Happy Boss's Day! 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
