Armorel Public Schools

Elem parents: Construction has pushed our moving schedule to earlier dates. Students in grades KG-4th will need to collect their personal items from desks or lockers, Mon- Wed., April 13-15, 9:30 AM-1:30 PM.

Senior Spotlight: Tanner Davis is the son of Bryan Davis and Lana Smith. After high school, he plans to play college baseball. When asked how he feels about his senior year ending this way he said, "way? ​Unfortunate. It sucks not being able to play out my last high school baseball season and do all the fun activities that were planned for our senior class. The advice he has for incoming freshmen is, "​For incoming freshman, I want to leave behind a message for most. Enjoy every moment, It comes fast and it’s gone before you know it. To your parents, continue to be the baby and take a lot of pictures. You never know what will happen to them. Also, be involved in everything." Congratulations Tanner!

Senior Spotlight: Briley Miller is the daughter of Shannon and Mandy Millier. After high school she plans to attend Arkansas Northeastern College for two years then transfer to Arkansas State University to attend their Physical Therapy program. Her thoughts about her senior year ending this way: "It hasn’t hit me yet that my senior year is over. I have been at Armorel since the third grade and have grown up with my class. It’s hard not seeing them everyday and knowing that i’ll never get to sit through another class meeting with them is upsetting. When asked what the highlight of her senior year is, Briley said, " The highlight of my senior year will have to be winning the Pattye Woody Tournament at South Pem. All of it was exciting from watching our student section go crazy, to going up and receiving the trophy, to celebrating to “We Are the Champions” out on the court. That night was definitely the highlight of my senior year."

Senior Spotlight: Ethan Bryant is the son of Nicole and Kenneth Warren and Brian and Tiffany Bryant. After high school he plans to work for Nucor. When asked how he feels about his senior year ending this way, Ethan said the following: " It's a double edged sword. I love not having to wake up until 2 p.m. everyday and not falling asleep till 6 or 7 a.m. every night, but not being able to sit at the lunchroom and tell jokes and laugh for 45 minutes straight or sit in Mrs. Speights class with CJ Tanner and Michael and get on her nerves for the whole class period everyday." The advice Ethan has for incoming freshmen is " Don't take highschool too seriously. Don't stress about the test coming up or trying to rush and finish the homework every night. It's one test and only one thing of homework stressing over it just makes it worse. That little grade for homework for the small 20 point test will not affect your grade in the long run so don't cry or pull your hair out trying to perfect every assignment." Congratulations Ethan!

Senior Spotlight: Kylee DeWitt is the daughter of Tracey DeWitt. After high school she plans to attend Arkansas Northeastern College part-time and work part-time. Kylee's thoughts about her senior year ending this way, "I'm sad about my senior year ending this way because the last day of senior year for anyone should be a day that is remembered. I do not remember my last day of my senior year and it breaks my heart. I don't get to go on any of my last school trips that I have looked forward to for years. I won't get to sit in the library with the people I have grown up with and just joke around and talk. I wish this year could have ended differently, but it's life and the class of 2020 will definitely be remembered." When asked what one person she was always happy to see, Kylee said the following, "I am always happy to see Mrs. Sally Baker. She has been around to support me in any way she can. She has helped me through the bad days in my life and makes sure I'm always okay. She's hugged me when I've had breakdowns and always makes sure that I know that she's always there for me if I need to talk, a snack, or just a hug. I am forever grateful for her and couldn't have made it through the past four years without her love and endless support." Congratulations Kylee!

Senior Spotlight: Madison Perez is the son of Shanea and Michael Massey. After high school he plans to attend ANC for two years to get his basics. After that, he plans to transfer to ASU to work towards a degree in athletic training. Madison's thoughts about his senior year ending this way: "I never thought in a million years that something like this would happen. We have worked so hard for the last twelve years for the end of our senior year to be stripped away from us. We had so much left to experience. I know the guys and I were really looking forward to the upcoming baseball season and for us to not even have a chance is really upsetting. I look back and I regret missing school all the time, but if i could go back and redo that I would. If I am being honest I do not even remember the last day of my senior year, and you are supposed to remember that. Anyways, I love all of my classmates and appreciate all of the help the teachers and faculty have done for us throughout the years and I hope that no other class will have to go through something like this." When asked about a moment he will never forget, he said the following: "I will never forget all of the baseball memories I have made with my teammates and coaches. Coach Brown and Coach Dobbs coached more than baseball. They coached us to be better men and how to carry ourselves, on and off the field. I am forever grateful for them and all of my teammates. I will never forget all of the hotel trips we had as well as the way we played during the postseason during my junior year. We have had some good runs as well as rough ones, but if there is one thing I have learned from Coach Brown and Coach Dobbs, it is not about how you fall, but it is about how you get up. I will miss these guys dearly and always have the uttermost respect for all of them. #14, out. Congratulations Madison!
