There's a new kid in town who we can't wait for you to meet! Vaughn Elementary is officially open for business! Vaughn will welcome kindergarten through fourth graders this fall and its name is a proud one! The school sits in the sweet community of Vaughn, a once thriving apple orchard, with its own school district. As Bentonville grew, Vaughn was absorbed into its bigger neighbor, but its people, church and small businesses are still proud of their namesake. We're thrilled to be a small part of Vaughn's rich history! #whereexcellencelives

Laurie Harrison is a theater and forensics teacher at Fulbright Jr. High. She's also our June Extra Mile Award recipient. Laurie was nominated by a Fulbright mom who says Laurie created a safe place for her sons who are on the autism spectrum. In her classroom, these two young men thrived, so much so, one intends to continue theater in high school. Laurie is committed to finding students who aren't quite sure where they fit in at jr high and helping them to see their worth. Thank you, Laurie, for making this #whereexcellencelives If you'd like to nominate a Bentonville Schools employee for going the Extra Mile, do so at bentonvillek12.org under About Us.

There should be a summer camp for adults where you just go and sleep for 3 weeks.
These two live and breath Bentonville Athletics...doesn't matter if it's soccer, softball or squash. (Maybe not that last one. Yet.) Athletic Director Scott Passmore and Bentonville High Athletic Director Chris Hutchens were recently honored by the Arkansas High School Athletic Administrators Association for their on and off the field commitments to Bentonville student-athletes. Chris received the Newcomer of the Year award while Scott was recognized with the Bruce D. Whitehead Distinguished Service Award. Congratulations, gentlemen! #whereexcellencelives
