It has that small, hometown feel. With a population of around 5,800, it is the kind of place you want to live. At the heart of the town is the school. Alma School District has a little over 3,000 students. Most of these students who start as kindergarteners will stay with Alma schools all 13 years until they graduate as seniors. This is probably because students have the unwavering support of their community, their school, and their parents. Alma School District has had our fair share of hard times this year, but by looking at the Class of

NORTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS TOP IN CLASS 1
"In every situation we must look on the bright side, lean on each other for support, and push on because that is the only way that we can persevere and advance in life. Let’s go into the world and show them the power of a Northside Grizzly. Thank you and congratulations, Northside’s Senior Class of 2020."

"At Northside, I didn't feel like an outsider anymore because I saw people who looked like me. They call us the most diverse school in Arkansas, and I love that. I love that in the hallways you don't see the same color. We are what America looks like but smaller, we are the melting pot of Arkansas. There were days where I didn’t feel like I belonged but now I am certain that I do and that is because of this amazing school."
~ JORDYN RELEFORD
"Kindness goes a long way, which is a notion that Northside has done a fantastic job of exemplifying. No matter where you end up, no matter what career you choose to have, no matter what life you choose to lead, I hope that it is full of opportunity, knowledge, and kindness."

GREENWOOD HIGH SCHOOL
The GHS Class of 2020 will always be special to me and will certainly have some unique stories to tell. We at GHS are incredibly saddened that your senior year was cut short. This pandemic has taken so much from so many, including our nation's high school seniors. It is hard to believe that just four short years ago you were the first group of students to enter the Greenwood Freshman Center. We were all so excited about the next four years and what the future held.
2020 202
We never imagined this as a possibility. However, we hope you still remember the vision we created together and
remain "Future Focused" even through these difficult times. The faculty and staff of GHS love and miss you!

Excerpt from Graduation speech by GHS Class of 2020 Senior Cadence Graves “Class of 2020, I know we all had an expectation of how our senior year would unfold. Athletic games and marching band contests. College essays and spring break trips. A magical prom and finally graduation. Due to circumstances out of our control, we were cut short. We have been forced to accept and adapt. And while 'social distancing' may become the phrase that defines the year 2020, let it not define us. “I challenge you to take the education we have been provided and use it to become world changers. Let us go and become doctors, teachers, business owners, lawyers, artists, police officers, farmers and soldiers that will leave a positive mark on society. Be someone, someone can lean on. A neighbor that will reach out in a time of crisis. A teacher that will rise above the challenge of a global pandemic and continue to educate. A doctor that will risk their own life to save another. And one day, when our grandchildren are interviewing us about our experience with Covid-19, let us be able to pass on the lessons we have learned.”
Camryn Presley, Senior Class President "Being a Greenwood Bulldog my whole life has shaped me to be who I am. Bulldogs embody what it means to love, work hard, and have fun. My classmates will forever hold a place in my heart, and I will never forget all the memories we have made at GHS. "

Educating Minds. Shepherding Hearts. Graduating Disciples. Your senior year has been quite unique - from a flooded campus that displaced us for 6 weeks to a pandemic at the end of the year. There are those who rise up during a crisis and lead well; there are those who lead well during the calm. It was quite unique to find so many, Class of 2020, who can lead well regardless of the circumstances. You have been incredible leaders. My last words to you: God sits immovable on His throne, worthy of all praise and glory. Whatever may come at us in this life, God is sovereign, He upholds us, He carries us, and He never leaves His children. Therefore, glorify Him with your lives and obedience.
