DYNASTY: A powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time. We'd say that's what the Bentonville High School Golden Tamers have created. This weekend marked the teams' fourth consecutive Arkansas State Championship and 10th title overall. The ladies are led by Head Coach Megan Walbe, Assistant Coach Kayle Grisham and Team Choreographer Amy Passmore. Well done, ladies! #whereexcellencelives

If you want to connect with two incredibly nice people, stop in and chat with Cheryl Bowen and Brynne Love at Bentonville High School. These two gems are the first faces you'll encounter on that campus. They serve as administrative assistants in the front office and have made customer service their only goal in their interactions with the hundreds of parents, students and colleagues who pass through their office. They were nominated by a BHS parent who wrote, “Brynne and Cheryl make people feel like they matter."
We wish to honor Cheryl Bowen and Brynne Love with the Extra Mile Award for their tireless commitment to the BHS community.
