We're celebrating Adalyn Hanning, who has been named a national finalist in not one, but two Future Farmers of America (FFA) award areas!
She's one of the top four finalists in the nation for her Agricultural Processing application and a top ten finalist for her Agricultural Science fair project.
Adalyn is the only student in Arkansas to be a finalist for her proficiency application, and one of only two students in the state to be a finalist for her ag science fair application.
Join us in congratulating Adalyn and wishing her the best of luck at nationals in Indianapolis! #SpringdaleFamily #FFA

A huge congratulations to Shyanne Cross, a 10th-grade student at Don Tyson School of Innovation! She was accepted as a delegate to the 2025 Congress of Future Medical Leaders and had a truly inspiring trip. While there, Shyanne was surrounded by Nobel Peace Prize winners, medical professionals from every field imaginable, and even patients whose lives were forever changed by modern medicine. She went to the conference with dreams of becoming a veterinarian, but thanks to this incredible experience, she's now also considering a career in the OB-GYN field. We can't wait to see what she accomplishes next! #SpringdaleFamily
