3-PEAT!!! Yes folks, our students did it again! Arp H.S. is back to back to back Vocabulary Bowl Texas State Champion! During the contest period of Oct. 1-Nov. 30, our students mastered 33,798 words. That was best among all participating Texas schools by more than 7,700 words. That was also good enough to be third in the country in Div. 3 (schools of less than 500 students) & ninth in the country overall among schools of any size. Everyone of our H.S. students participated and made some sort of a contribution to our tremendous success. #TPND

BIg ups to 🐅🏐 senior Maddie Birdsong who was chosen to play in Saturday's 2024 BSN SPORTS East Texas All Star Volleyball Game along with this season's very best #bEASTtexas 🏐players. Representing the Blue squad, Maddie had 2 kills, 1 block, & 4 digs in the contest played at Spring Hill High School in Longview. Although her team came up short vs. the Red squad, it was a tremendous experience for our Lady Tiger who's been a 4-year varsity standout. #TPND #EATT #ALLIN #txhsvb
