January marks School Board Appreciation Month, a special time to recognize and celebrate the commitment of the individuals who lead and support our schools behind the scenes. At Yellville-Summit, we are fortunate to have a dedicated team of school board members who give their time, energy, and heart to ensure the success of every student.
These leaders serve without pay, driven by their passion for education and their love for the Y-S community. What makes our board even more special is that each member is a proud Yellville-Summit graduate, carrying forward the legacy of Panther pride with a deep, personal investment in the future of our students.
We are grateful for their thoughtful leadership, vision, and the countless hours they devote to making Yellville-Summit the best it can be. This month, and every month, we honor their service and thank them for making a difference!
Please join us in showing your appreciation to our Yellville-Summit School Board members for all they do!

🚑 A BIG thank you to Stephanie and John McGrew from Baxter Health for visiting Ms. Dubuque's Foundations of Health Care class today!
We truly appreciate them taking the time to share their knowledge and experience as EMTs and paramedics. They gave us an inside look at what it takes to become one, demonstrated tools from their supply bags, and walked us through various traumas and conditions they encounter daily.
We learned so much and are grateful for their dedication to helping others in times of need. Thank you for inspiring us and giving us a glimpse into this amazing field! 🚑💙

Let’s start this year off with another accolade for Coach April Martin! 🎉🥇
We just received the news that she was selected as the 2023-2024 Section 6 Girls Track and Field (Outdoor) Coach of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations! Section 6 consists of five states including Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Oklahoma.
In his letter with the news of her winning, the CEO of NFHS referred to this honor as designating her “status among the most elite coaches” and confirmed Coach Martin as the “most deserving recipient” as chosen by the NFHS Coaches Association Advisory Committee.
As our Lady Panther track team completed their 4th consecutive Class AA State Championship last May, Coach Martin was named the 2A-1 Conference Coach of the Year. Then, in early June, she received news that she was the Arkansas Democrat Gazette All-Arkansas Preps Coach of the Year. Later that same month, she was awarded the Arkansas High School Coaches Association Outstanding Track Coach of the Year! Let’s just say, 2024 was good to Coach Martin!
Coach Martin, we are so happy that your hard work, commitment to our athletes, and excellence in competition is being recognized not only in our conference, but also statewide and, now, nationally! We are so proud of you! 💚
Our Middle School Panther Print is ready for your viewing. It is done completely by 5th graders under the supervision of their teacher, Mr. Sperry.
