Pea Ridge School District is thrilled to share some exciting news! 🎉
Tuesday, our superintendent joined leaders from across Northwest Arkansas for a regional planning conversation with the Alice L. Walton Foundation and the Heartland Whole Health Institute. These early discussions focus on the possibility of a new regional site that would expand the Ignite-style learning model beyond Bentonville and create powerful new opportunities for students across our region.
We are thankful to be at the table as these plans take shape. A regional site has the potential to open doors for Pea Ridge students in high-demand fields such as health sciences, technology, global business, and engineering. This model connects students with industry mentors, advanced learning environments, and real-world experiences that prepare them for success beyond graduation. 💡📚
While planning is still underway, the vision being explored represents a major step forward for career-focused education in Northwest Arkansas — and we could not be more energized about what this could mean for our students! 🔥
We are sharing this update proactively as news coverage is expected, and we want our families and community to stay informed as these exciting regional discussions continue. More details will be shared as they are released by the organizations leading this work. Stay tuned — big things are ahead for Blackhawk Nation!

Pea Ridge is proud to celebrate Jamie Bell, one of our incredible Special Education teachers at PRPS, who was nominated by a parent for the impact she’s made on their student. The parent described Jamie as dedicated, determined, and caring.
Jamie has served Pea Ridge for 5 years and has been in education for 18. KNWA selects just one educator each month across all of Northwest Arkansas for their Golden Apple Award, and Jamie was this month’s honoree. She received the Golden Apple, gift cards, and a basket of goodies provided by POST.
KNWA shared that the feature is expected to air sometime in November. We’ll share it with our community as soon as it’s released.

Students in Ms. Sairls’ Animal Science and Vet Science classes traveled to the 808 Ranch in Missouri yesterday for an exceptional in-person learning experience.
Our students learned about the IVF process in cattle, explored specialized careers within the agriculture industry, and gained valuable insight into advanced reproductive technologies. The ranch has invited them back in February to view the ultrasound process to see which embryos were successfully implanted.
It was a fascinating day of real-world learning, and several students left inspired—and even interested in future careers at the ranch. 🌱🐄✨
A special thank you to the 808 Ranch for welcoming our students and allowing them to be part of such an incredible process.
