Other states are lowering their standards. Arkansas is raising the bar.

There’s been a 20% increase in students learning at grade level since I signed Arkansas LEARNS, our state’s landmark education package.

Conservative reforms work.

Arkansas showed out at Odyssey of the Mind World Finals! 🎉🧠✨

Six Arkansas teams placed in the Top 10 in the WORLD, representing Blytheville, Brookland, Corning, and Greene County Tech. Teams from GCT & Blytheville took on the famous Structure Problem. Their balsa‑wood structures (yes, just balsa wood and glue!) held 840 lbs and 790 lbs!

Odyssey of the Mind is a creative enrichment program that teaches problem-solving skills and serves as an extension to the classroom setting.

A huge congratulations to these students, their coaches, and the districts cheering them on! 👏
