💼 Gravette High School business students discovered a wide variety of career paths during a tour of the Walmart Home Office. This visit helped students see how many many different skills are needed within a single corporate environment.

Students visited several specialized areas including the large auditorium, the television studio, and the radio station. They met DJ Chris to hear how music and media reach stores across the country. The group also explored the 8th and Plate food court. This tour was an example of how a large company needs employees of all different backgrounds, from technology and media to food service and event production.

Seeing these professional environments helps students connect what they learn in school to their future goals. Thank you to Wal-Mart and the associates for sharing their time and insight with our lions. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🚗 Gravette High School juniors and seniors had the opportunity to see the hazards of distracted and impaired driving first-hand with virtual reality last week. This event was hosted by the International Save a Life Tour, a comprehensive safety program that visits schools and universities worldwide. Using immersive technology provided a novel and engaging way to demonstrate the real dangers of poor driving choices by letting students feel the immediate consequences of distractions in a controlled setting.

🎥 Check out the KNWA news coverage of the event here: https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/international-tour-to-teach-students-about-safe-driving-makes-stop-in-northwest-arkansas/

The simulation asked students to manage text messages arriving every 12 seconds while navigating city streets. Another simulation offered a glimpse into the disorientating effects of driving while impaired. These hands-on lessons help bridge the gap between hearing about safety and understanding the genuine risks of reckless driving. Senior Holden Jeffries shared that the experience reinforced the idea that no social media update is worth a life. By the end of the day, every junior and senior signed a pledge banner to commit to keeping our roads safe for everyone.

Thank you to the team at the International Save a Life Tour for helping to prepare our Lions for the road ahead with good choices and consideration for their neighbors. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🛠️ Way to go Gravette FFA! Future Farmers of America students Reese Long, Ava Brown, and Maddilyn Vollweider earned top honors and state qualifications at the Girl Power NWA event in Farmington yesterday. These high schoolers showcased their technical skills by creating custom items in their agricultural mechanics classes.

🥇💰 Maddilyn Vollweider earned first place in the Metal Division with a custom-built Arkansas-themed fire pit with a removable cooktop. Her work resulted in a full scholarship to Northwest Technical Institute.
🥈🏅 Ava Brown secured second place in the Metal Division with her western-themed light fixture and received the People's Choice Award.
🥈 Reese Long took second place in the Multi-Tool Division for her rocket stove that includes a wooden prep rack.

These students connected with industry leaders from local businesses like Kimbel Mechanical Systems, CREW NWA, and Midland Industrial Services. Northwest Arkansas Education Service Cooperative facilitated the event to help students see their potential in the trades. For many young women, the trades can feel like a world where they do not belong. Meeting women who are already thriving in these roles shows them that if they have the talent and the work ethic, there is a seat at the table for them too.

These results highlight the focus and skill our FFA students bring to their craft every day. Congratulations to these young women for their achievement. We look forward to what happens next! 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
