Cross County School District -

Under Mrs. Nikki Williams’s leadership, CCHS’s Thunderbirds Against Drugs (TAD) group was awarded a grant from The Arkansas Sheriff’s Association to purchase materials and supplies to help the student group meet its goals and fund Red Ribbon Week. We would like to thank Cross County Sheriff, David West for the opportunity so we can continue to grow student leaders and bring awareness to all students.

Our partners at NIET caught wind of CCETA's recent accomplishments and shared them nationwide. NIET's TAP System has provided our school with support and guidance in our efforts to put student learning at the center of all that we do.

Congratulations to our very first Be Excellent Challenge winner of the school year: Harrison McGee!

AMI packets have all been placed on high school student laptops or students were given a paper copy. If your student received a paper copy, keep it in a safe place until needed. As a reminder, we will use AMI work in the event school is closed for an emergency or inclement weather. If your child did not get one, please contact the office with questions. Thank you for supporting our school!

Homecoming activities were a hit! The parade included so many creative floats with the week’s theme: “Battle of the Decades”. You could feel that school spirit from Kindergarten all the way to the Seniors! What a great way to end the school week and cheer on those Thunderbirds!

Mrs. Fisher’ class concluded their study of The Outsiders and to close it out, the students dressed as the two rival character groups: the Socs and the Greasers! What a great ending to a outstanding novel study!

Join us tonight at Thunderbird Stadium for homecoming at 6:00 PM. Then, the Thunderbirds will take on the Rector Cougars at 7:00. Come out and support the T-birds!!!

Great things are happening in Mrs. Fisher’s English class! The students are reading The Outsiders. This week, students will be applying the book’s content to present the information as a court case with one of the main characters on trial. Students are applying conflict, imagery, and characterization from the novel study as part of the project. Thank you Mrs. Fisher for making your classes relevant and engaging for your students!

Students in Family and Consumer Science are taking care of their Flour Babies this week! We know one day, these students will make great parents!
