Congrats to Westside High School Cheer for placing 2nd place in their competition this past weekend in Hot Springs! They also received the Highest Score in Cheer out of all performance teams competing! They will compete again at Jonesboro High School on December 14th.
WHS FBLA students had an incredible day exploring Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Memphis, TN, as part of their celebration of American Enterprise Day!
American Enterprise Day is celebrated on November 15th each year to recognize the American free enterprise system, which is the foundation of the United States economy. The day was established by President Jimmy Carter in 1980 through a Presidential Proclamation. The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) organizes the day to educate young people about capitalism.
These WHS students got to be a part of the first leadership seminar hosted by the AState Women’s Business Leadership Center. These ladies will be recognized at the Women’s Leadership Conference in April.
