America’s Best High Schools

Newsweek recently published it’s 2010 list of America’s Best High Schools. Our local schools fared well on the list, giving  us yet another reason northwest Arkansas is one of the most desirable destinations to live, work, and play! The list represents only 1,600 (or 6%) of our nation’s best public schools based on performance in advanced-placement (AP) courses and tests. The article includes some interactive features and a profile for each school. Below are the rankings for the six area schools that made the list. The rankings put Har-Ber and Fayetteville in the top 2% nationally. Congratulations to the faculty & staff that make our schools such valuable institutions.

#411  Har-Ber High School (Springdale)
#448  Fayetteville High School
#589  Bentoville High School
#1148  Rogers High School
#1430  Springdale High School
#1574  Pea Ridge High School

Happy 35th, Fayetteville Farmers’ Market

Today marked the first day of the 35th year of the Fayetteville Farmers’ Market!  The sidewalks of the downtown square were lined with farmers, artists, musicians, and other vendors displaying their unique wares.  The crowd turned out on this sunny – though windy – Saturday morning to show their support. The farmers’ market is one of my favorite activities, and I’m so glad it’s back!
