🦁 The 2024–25 school year is in the books. For many in our schools, it was their first... first year leading, first year learning, or first year walking through our doors. We’re proud of the progress made and thankful for the people who made it possible. From Mr. Gravette’s first year as superintendent to Dr. Newsom’s first year at Glenn A. Duffy Elementary, this was a year of fresh starts and firm steps forward. Across all our schools, staff and students put in the work and showed what it means to be part of Gravette. Our students and staff are strong, focused, and ready. And the 2025-2026 school year is already looking bright. See you next year, Lions! Enjoy the time off and come back recharged and ready to pounce! 🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

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
