In a heartwarming show of community spirit and gratitude, several local businesses stepped up to celebrate the dedicated educators of MHS during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Searcy County announced it has met all criteria to become a certified ACT Work Ready Community, demonstrating its commitment to developing a strong workforce pipeline, desirable to employers, economic developers and current and future citizens of the county. Searcy County Judge Tony Horton said, “A tool like ACT Work Ready is a win-win. It will help Searcy County grow by bringing in workers but also making us an appealing place to work for hometown residents, too. A great effort by all involved!”
Searcy County Farm Bureau once again demonstrated its dedication to the local community by actively participating in and supporting recent student fishing derbies hosted for area schools. Through both hands-on involvement and generous contributions of time and resources, Farm Bureau members played a vital role in ensuring these outdoor educational events were a success for students from St. Joe Schools, Leslie Intermediate School (LIS), and Marshall Elementary School (MES).
The Searcy County Humane Society is putting out a heartfelt plea to the community as it faces a critical need for volunteers to help care for the many animals housed at its shelter.
Summer is just around the corner, and the Searcy County Youth Soccer League is gearing up for an exciting camp season! Registration is now open, and parents are encouraged to get their payments in soon to secure a spot.

Hello Everyone! The Arkansas Razorbacks played Kansas. The score was Arkansas 79 and Kansas 72. Woo Pig Sooie. Arkansas is playing in the NCAA tournament.
These spring storms have really wrecked havoc on our beautiful state this past week, but temps are gradually leveling out and inching upward, so maybe we will see the end of them soon & start to enjoy more outside time. Special prayers go out to all those who have losses of property and injuries from the storms. Arkansans are resilient and helpful folks though, so let’s roll up our sleeves and reach out to neighbors who need our help. (Matthew 25:35-40!)
