Today, the South Conway County School District mourns the loss of one of our own, **retired educator Ms. Judy Calhoun**, whose life and legacy touched generations of children, families, and colleagues.
Ms. Calhoun faithfully served our district for many years as a reading interventionist, serving children at multiple schools, including **East Side Elementary in Menifee** and **Reynolds Elementary School**. She also served as a counselor at Reynolds Elementary. In addition, she was instrumental in helping establish kindergarten in our district during the 1970s, leaving a lasting impact on countless young learners and helping shape the foundation of education for children in our community.
Throughout her career, Ms. Calhoun truly embodied our district's purpose to **Love, Serve, and Care for People**. Whether encouraging a struggling reader, comforting a child, supporting a family, or mentoring a colleague, she demonstrated compassion, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to others every single day.
We extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to her family, especially her daughters, Lynn and Leeann, during this difficult time. We also pray for the many former students, families, friends, and coworkers whose lives were blessed by knowing her.
The influence of a great educator lives on in the lives they shape. Ms. Judy Calhoun's legacy will continue to be seen in the generations of children she loved, served, and inspired. She will be deeply missed, but her example of loving, serving, and caring for people will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Please join us in keeping her family in your thoughts and prayers.

The South Conway County School District is proud to recognize Micah Autrey, a senior at Morrilton High School, for representing our district as a student panelist at the Arkansas School Boards Association Southern Region Leadership Conference in Hot Springs.
Micah was recommended by school leaders because of the leadership, character, and example he demonstrates in both our school and our community.

The Student Leadership Panel provided attendees with the opportunity to hear directly from students about the experiences, opportunities, and relationships that have shaped their educational journeys. Panelists shared insights on what helps students succeed, how schools prepare them for the future, and ways schools can continue improving for the next generation of learners.
We are incredibly proud of Micah for representing Morrilton High School and the South Conway County School District with excellence. His willingness to share his experiences and perspectives reflects the outstanding young people we are privileged to serve.
