Bobcats, let's welcome Wendy Wheeler to our staff!
"My family has been part of Berryville for generations and I am so excited to continue my career at Berryville Middle School. I have been a special education teacher for 9 years and I will be teaching Resource and co-taught classes. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and being outdoors. I look forward to inspiring todays students to learn, grow and become the best they can be."
Autumn Blodgett is joining the Berryville Elementary team!
"Hi! My name is Autumn Blodgett, and I’m from Berryville, and I attended Berryville schools K-12. I’ll be teaching second grade, and I’m so excited for this opportunity!" Welcome to our staff, Autumn. We are excited that you are here!
Tracie (Melinda) Bellinger I will be teaching 8th grade English. "I was a Berryville Bobcat for my entire school career and participated in everything from choir to cross country to quiz bowl to Spanish club! I got married after my senior year and my husband and I moved to NWA for college. That was about ten years ago. Since then, we have had a beautiful baby boy who is now almost nine (Ezra), and as of last May, we have purchased a home and eleven acres in Carroll County. We are so happy to be home, and we don't have any intention of leaving again! My undergraduate degree is in business administration, and I worked as a fiduciary officer for a well-known bank for several years prior to obtaining my master's degree in teaching. This will be my third year as a teacher. In my free time, I enjoy many activities including reading, hiking, scrapbooking, practicing martial arts, playing tennis, and playing video games. The most important aspect of my free time is that it is spent with people I care about. In reality, we spend much of our time currently finishing our house and creating our homestead haven. We currently have four dogs (Legolas, Willow, Grover, and Alto), two cats (Khoshekh and Lux), four Nigerian Dwarf goats, four chickens, and one potbelly pig, along with the beginnings of a bee hive and a small garden. We keep ourselves busy between family, church, and work, but it's a good kind of busy. I am thrilled to be joining the Bobcat family, and I am excited to see what the school year brings!"
Welcome back, Mrs. Bellinger!

The Berryville Athletic Hall of Fame Board would like to thank the following individuals and companies that are
participating as a “Founding Funder” by establishing an endowment for this program. Their support ensures that
this project will last in perpetuity and will never be a financial burden on the school district or the athletic
department. We will have a large permanent plaque placed in the west foyer area of Bobcat Arena that will
describe the Hall of Fame and display all the names of these supporters who have participated in this endowment.
The deadline to participate as one of the “Founding Funder” will end on June 30. If you have interest in supporting
this project or want more information, contact us at (870) 243-0800 or deanlee6377@gmail.com.
Teachers recognized at the board meeting tonight for high growth scores and merit pay as determined by the Department of Education. Congratulations for being in the top 25% in the state for high student growth based on 3 years of data!
Celebrating the last round of staff members who received a "shout out" this week! We hope everyone is having a great summer.
Happy Father's Day to all of our fathers, and those who play the role of a father, in #BobcatNation!
New Student Registration Date and Times have been set for August 1.
Please Note: Open House and Returning Student Registration dates will be announced at the end of July or first of August once office staff have returned from summer break.
ATTENTION BOBCAT SUPPORTERS!!!!!
We would like to make you aware of a special opportunity that has a small window. The Berryville School District has established the Berryville Athletic Hall of Fame. It will begin recognition this Fall at the 1st home football game of every year (Sept. 6, 2024). It will include the recognition of the inductees on the field at halftime then on Saturday we will have a casual, inexpensive breakfast in the High School cafeteria before proceeding into the Berryville Performing Arts Center for the formal ceremony and induction of the award winners. The inaugural inductees for 2024 into the Hall of Fame are: Jack Edens, Ronnie Clark, Joe Mills, JoAnn Clark and Tom Ginn.
One of the unique things we are doing is putting together an endowment for the Hall of Fame, so that this program will last in perpetuity and will never be a financial burden on the school or athletic department. We set a goal to find 25 people that will give a $1000 gift to place in this fund. We have reached our fundraising efforts and now want to ensure that all the individuals and companies that want to participate in this program are informed of this one-time opportunity. We will have a large permanent plaque placed in the west foyer area of Bobcat Arena that will describe the Hall of Fame and display all of these “Founding Funders” who participated in the endowment. Once we order the plaque at the end of June, this naming recognition will not be available again.
If you have an interest in this opportunity, know somebody who might be interested or want more information on this project, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Please feel free to contact us at: Dean Lee, 870- 243-0800, deanlee6377@gmail.com. Again, we greatly appreciate all you do for the Berryville School District and the Bobcat Athletic Program and look forward to establishing the Berryville Athletic Hall of Fame.
