District Mission: Ensuring high levels of learning for everyone, every day!

 

Keily Diaz Wins 2026 Congressional Art Competition

Berryville High School is incredibly proud to announce that junior Keily Diaz has been named the winner of the 2026 Congressional Art Competition for Arkansas’s Third Congressional District. Congressman Steve Womack made the official announcement, recognizing Keily’s exceptional talent.

Her winning artwork, titled “Paciencia y Fe,” will be sent to Washington, D.C., where it will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year. This is a monumental achievement for Keily, and we are so excited to see her represent Berryville on a national stage.

The excellence continues at the middle school level, where the Berryville Middle School FBLA chapter recently made a significant impact at the State Leadership Conference. The chapter was recognized as the 2nd largest in the entire state, boasting an impressive 101 members!

A huge congratulations goes out to our individual state winners who placed in the top 10:

  • Fifth Place (Word Processing): Jacee Mitchell
  • Sixth Place (Exploring Marketing Strategies): Lynli Toombs, Jaylinn Hernandez, and Hadley Whorton

Summer Soar: Intermediate School Launches Book Drive

To ensure our students keep reading throughout the warmer months, the Berryville Intermediate School is launching Summer Soar—an initiative to put books directly into the hands of students for the summer.

We are currently collecting gently used books such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Boxcar Children and various graphic novels. Donated books will be given to students to keep.

How to Help

  • Drop-off: Bring books to the intermediate school during regular school hours.
  • Monetary Donations: If you don’t have books but still wish to support the program, monetary donations are welcomed. Receipts will be issued for all contributions.

Special thanks to the teacher action team overseeing this cause: Shelley Brown, Erin Brewer, JP Dean, and Raven Neal.
