South Conway County School District was honored to recently host the Class 4A State Basketball Tournament at Devil Dog Arena. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every worker and volunteer who gave their time and energy to make this tournament an outstanding experience for teams, fans, and families from across Arkansas.
Because of you, visitors experienced the excellence, kindness, and hospitality that define our school district and our community. Throughout the tournament, we received many compliments on Devil Dog Arena and the cleanliness, hospitality, and organization of the event, which reflects the pride our people take in serving others well.
Since 2018, Devil Dog Arena has hosted five state tournaments, including:
• Two 1A State Basketball Tournaments in partnership with the Wonderview School District
• Two 4A State Basketball Tournaments
• One 4A State Volleyball Tournament
In addition, Devil Dog Arena has hosted three regional tournaments:
• Two 4A Regional Basketball Tournaments
• One Regional Volleyball Tournament
And the excitement will continue as Devil Dog Arena is scheduled to host the 4A State Volleyball Tournament in the Fall of 2026.
Devil Dog Arena is truly one of the premier venues in Arkansas for hosting events like these. But what makes it special is not just the facility — it is the people who step forward to serve, welcome, and support others.
Thank you to our SCCSD learning community for your continued support and investment in Devil Dog Arena. Your commitment helps us showcase what it truly means to Love, Serve, and Care for People.

🎙️✨ On Air with Mrs. McCarthy’s Class!Students in Mrs. McCartney’s class are stepping into the role of radio hosts by creating their very own radio shows! From writing their own scripts to choosing the songs for their program, students are in charge of bringing their ideas to life.
Using their Chromebooks, they record their finished shows & experience what it’s like to produce a real radio broadcast. It’s a fun & creative way to build communication, writing, & technology skills!

🧫🔬 Medical Detectives in Action! 🔬🧫
Our Medical Detectives classes are stepping into the role of scientists as they conduct experiments to better understand bacteria and antibiotics. Students planted bacteria cultures and introduced different antibiotics to observe which ones were most effective in stopping bacterial growth. Through hands-on investigation, they’re learning how doctors determine the right treatments and why choosing the correct antibiotic matters. Science is coming to life right before their eyes! 🧪✨ #loveservecare #HandsOnLearning

Mrs. Williams ELA classes teamed up with the U of A Cooperative Extension Service to study the hatching process for chickens. 🐓 Mrs. Autry and Mrs. Hugen shared some great information on chicken production in Arkansas. Students were able to see various eggs and place them in the incubator. Students discussed homozygous and heterozygous offspring. Mrs. Williams and her students will collect data for the next 21 days and document the progress leading up to the hatch date.
🦉🔬 Science got a little wild in Mrs. Pinion’s 8th grade Science classes today!
Students dug into owl pellets to learn about comparative anatomy. Today, they are sorting and identifying tiny bones. Tomorrow, they will figure out what the owl had eaten and compared skeletal structures using bone charts. #loveservecare4others💙💜
Dear MJHS Families,
Today, we briefly implemented a Hold as a precaution due to a student medical situation. During a Hold, students and staff remain in their current locations while classroom instruction continues, allowing emergency responders to address the situation safely.
The situation was handled promptly, the Hold has been lifted, and the school day resumed as normal.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. Please contact the school office with any questions.
