We're excited to announce our most extensive partnership yet with Citizens Bank!!
We will be launching a unique financial literacy workforce training program. A key component of this program is the installation of a student-operated Financial Education Center inside our high school. This will be located in the mini-quad and fully functional to serve our students, faculty, and staff for their banking needs with limited transitions.
Through this endeavor, we strive to equip our students with the tools to build their leadership qualities, strengthen their communication skills, and increase their fluency in all things financial literacy. We hope some of the students will find their Future Story through this program and partnership. At conception, this will be the only limited operational bank in a school in Arkansas.
We will host a ribbon-cutting on September 19th at 5:30 p.m. in the mini-quad of the high school. All community members are welcome to attend.
Athletic Update
A free parent training is being offered via Zoom on 9/7 from 6:00 to 7:30pm. The focus of the training is executive functioning and will be conducted by Peg Dawson, a school psychologist and lead researcher in the field. So, if you’ve got students (or parents or teachers) who struggle with attention, organization, flexibility, procrastination, and goal-setting, this is the training for them.

Welcome, Coach Bailey Buffington!
“My name is Bailey Buffington, and I am from Bauxite, Arkansas. I played softball three years at Crowder College and two years at Arkansas Tech University. I graduate in December with my bachelor’s degree in Health and Physical Education Teacher Licensure. I am super excited to be a Southside Southerner, and couldn’t ask for a better place to start my teaching/coaching career. Go Southerners!”
Welcome, Coach Lexi McClellan!
“I’m Lexi McClellan from Ozark, Arkansas. I played softball two years at Crowder College and three years (due to Covid) at the University of Central Arkansas. I graduated in May with my masters degree in exercise science. I chose southside to start off my teaching and coaching career because it felt like home immediately and the staff works well together to improve the lives of the students beyond just school and athletics. I look forward to stepping into the role of helping students and athletes expand their capabilities and accomplish their goals."
