Congratulations to the Southside Junior Beta Club Book Battle team who placed in the Top 10 at the National Beta Convention last month! Jillian Heckel, Heather Johnson, and Camille Kelley brought an 8th place national finish home to SJHS at the National Beta Convention in Nashville after winning first place in the Book Battle competition at the state convention in April! We are so proud of all nine SJHS students who competed in the National Beta Convention. These students qualified for nationals because of their exceptional performance at state convention and represented Southside Junior High in painting, jewelry-making, sculpture, and mixed-media visual arts competitions along with academic competitions. Congratulations to Addie Dunemn, Ethan Graveline, Morgan Hill, Mason Mawhinnie, Katie Pollard, and Katie Ruddell!

Welcome, Coach Adam Winter! "I was born and raised in Conway, Arkansas. I grew up enjoying sports, and at a young age I fell in love with the game of baseball. I was fortunate enough to play high school baseball at Conway High. I then went on to play at the collegiate level at University of the Ozarks in Clarksville Arkansas. I have now been coaching at various levels for 8 years. Baseball and the outdoors are my passion. I am beyond excited, and blessed to have the opportunity to lead the Southerners baseball program."
