We’re proud to share that all three of our district counselors were selected to serve on the Arkansas crisis response team through the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) Crisis Recovery Network. SREB, in partnership with state and local education leaders across 16 states, is launching the SREB Crisis Recovery Network to provide coordinated, year-long emotional and mental health support for students, educators, and communities impacted by crisis.

This week, SREB trained 40 school counselors in Arkansas to support crisis recovery efforts both in-state and beyond. These counselors will provide sustained support to students, educators, and local counseling teams following catastrophic events. Arkansas is the fifth state to complete this training.

The Crisis Recovery Network will support schools and colleges following events such as natural disasters, school violence, and public health emergencies, with a focus on long-term mental health recovery from day three through day 370 after a crisis.

Bald Knob Schools will be closed on Tuesday, January 27th due to inclement weather and unsafe road conditions.

The weather conditions might have stopped the Senior High Bulldog Cheerleaders from making the long journey to Forth Worth, but it didn't stop them from competing and showing what they are made of. Facing adversity, the Bulldog Cheerleaders competed virtually for the NCA National Championships against 12 other teams from Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and North Carolina. The Bulldogs took to the mat and gave their all. After a long wait, the results are in: The Senior High Bulldog Cheerleaders achieved a 4th place finish! Congratulations and Go Dogs!!

All games scheduled for tomorrow, January 26th, have been postponed due to inclement weather and unsafe road conditions. We are actively working to reschedule all Conference Play postponed games. Updates will be shared as soon as all details are confirmed. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these postponements and adjust schedules accordingly.

Due to inclement weather and unsafe road conditions, Bald Knob Schools will be closed on Monday, January 26th. Stay safe and warm!
