A new semester at CCHS has begun. That means math homework, essays, novel studies, and projects begin again. If a little extra help is needed, take advantage of the learning center or after-school tutoring. The learning center is open daily during advisory and has tutors to help with math, English, science, and history. After-school tutoring is offered, free of charge, four days a week (transportation not provided). Mr. Rolland is available Mondays and Wednesdays 3:30-5 to help with those tough math problems and science work. Mrs. Fisher stays Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:30-5 to help fine-tune those essays and any other help in English and History class. For more information or questions, please contact Mr. Prince, Mr. Rolland, or Mrs. Fisher at 870-588-3337.

Cross County seniors applied and were accepted to participate in “A Day in the Life of Nurses” at UAMS northeast in Jonesboro. They listened to several professionals, including an ER nurse, nurse practitioner, and nurse anesthetist, speak about a day in their life and took a tour of St. Bernard’s. They also learned how to draw blood, give injections, take blood pressure and even got to wear a pregnant belly! It was a great day full of experiencing and exploring future career paths!
Cross County High School had another successful blood drive. Giving blood is a life-saving activity that many of our students understand the need for. This round, Cross County students gave a total of 26 donations! We are well on our way to securing scholarships for our students. We only need a minimum of 15 more units donated at the next drive to receive scholarships. Please help us thank our students for donating.
Please join us Monday, December 10, 2018 for Cross County High School's annual band and choir concert. The concert will begin at 5:30 in the high school cafeteria.
