Samantha Morgan has been written into this year's story at Gravette High School with a fitting title: A Cut Above. Mrs. Morgan is known not just for her expertise in literature, but for her steady presence and willingness to help wherever it’s needed. She was nominated by multiple staff members for the A Cut Above award, which recognizes those who excel in the 3 A’s: Attendance (reliable and present), Attitude (uplifting and positive), and Action (always willing to go the extra step). Fellow teacher Fernanda Torres shared, “Samantha consistently goes above and beyond for both her students and her coworkers. She is always there to offer advice and direction when we need it most, especially those of us who are new.” The Gravette School Board, along with Mr. Gravette and Mrs. Mitchell, visited her classroom to present the award and recognize the leadership, encouragement, and consistency she brings to Gravette High School. Her award, a custom-crafted metal plaque, was built by Mr. Malott and his students in the Gravette High School Agricultural Science workshop. Precision-cut, welded, and painted by hand, it serves as a lasting symbol of Gravette craftsmanship and community gratitude. From organizing quiz bowl competitions to judging junior essays or helping with last-minute needs, she’s always ready to pitch in. Thank you, Samantha, for being A Cut Above! 🦁 #LionPride

🌎 Glenn A. Duffy Elementary had fun Earth Day activities yesterday thanks to The Environmental Club from Gravette High School. This student-led event featured hands-on learning stations, each designed and led by club members with a focus on sustainability and environmental awareness. Founded in 2020–2021, the Environmental Club has grown into a year-round force for change. They run the GHS recycling program, which has diverted over 1,800 pounds of materials this year, and organize outreach efforts like this. The Environmental Club began planning the Earth Day event back in December. They said the most rewarding part was connecting with younger students and seeing their excitement grow. These driven young women and men aren't just working toward a sustainable future, they are building habits of responsibility and leadership and modeling that for younger kids. Very impressive work from the club and their club sponsor, Mrs. Cluck! Great work, lions! 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
