Professionals who are going through the Batesville Leadership program visited Southside Schools to learn more about the programs offered. After touring the High School and hearing from Principal Hodges about the opportunities available to students, attendees gathered in the auditorium to hear from two seniors at Southside. The students talked about their future stories and how Southside Schools have provided them with the tools they need to pursue their goals. Superintendent, Mr. Stevens wrapped up the visit with a question and answer session and discussed the plans for the future of the school.

Meet our new Accounts Payable Specialist, Kayla Goodman. We are happy to have Mrs. Goodman join our team at Southside Schools. Mrs. Goodman graduated from Cushman School in 2009 and worked at Citizens Bank for 11 years. After holding several different positions in the bank, including teller, vault teller, ATM teller, and customer service representative, Mrs. Goodman held the position of Universal Banker, directly under the assistant branch manager. Mrs. Goodman has been married to Blake for six years, and the couple has three beautiful daughters, Addy, Rilynn, and Kamri. In her downtime, Mrs. Goodman enjoys camping, crafting and taking naps. We know Mrs. Goodman is going to be an asset in our accounting department.

We are excited to kick off our Fall Sports for the year, and we want to share the excitement with you by giving away a Family Sports Pass this Friday. The pass will get you and your immediate family into all home games, across all sports for the year.
