Bald Knob School District is seeking two community volunteers to serve on the Bald Knob Schools Athletic Hall of Honor Committee.
We are specifically looking for:
One Bald Knob alumnus/alumna who graduated in 1985 or earlier
One Bald Knob alumnus/alumna who graduated between 2006 and 2021
The Bald Knob Schools Athletic Hall of Honor was established to formally recognize and preserve the legacy of the outstanding athletes, coaches, and supporters who have made a lasting impact on our athletic programs. The Hall of Honor celebrates excellence, recognizes individuals who have positively influenced our school and community, and provides role models who inspire today's student-athletes. Honorees are permanently recognized with plaques displayed in the Bald Knob High School gymnasium, ensuring their contributions are remembered and celebrated for generations to come.
Committee members meet 2–3 times each year. One meeting is held to review nominations and select new Hall of Honor inductees, while one or two additional meetings are dedicated to planning the annual Hall of Honor induction ceremony.
If you are interested in being considered for one of these committee positions, please send an email to bkadministration@baldknobschools.org. Please include your name, phone number, graduation year, and a brief explanation of why you would like to serve on the committee. We will contact you towards the end of August with more information.
We appreciate your willingness to help preserve and celebrate the rich athletic tradition of Bald Knob Schools!
We are excited to announce that ALL Bald Knob Public Schools students (K–12) will receive FREE breakfast and FREE lunch during the 2026–2027 school year!
This is a huge win for our students, families, and community, and it wouldn't have been possible without YOU!
Because so many of our families take the time each year to complete the Free & Reduced Meal Application, our district has now reached the 70% eligibility threshold, which means that, regardless of household income, every student will receive free breakfast and free lunch. Your willingness to complete those forms has made a tremendous impact on our district and will benefit every student who walks through our doors this year.
Thank you for partnering with us and helping make this possible!
Here's to an amazing 2026-2027 school year! 💙🐾
