Continuing our recognition of our Beebe School Board members with Mr. Harold Davis.
Mr. Harold Davis has fourteen years on the school board and has been extremely involved in the growth of the district. Mr. Davis is Vice President of the Board. As a former McRae School Board Member, Mr. Davis played a large part in the district’s annexation. With a business and medical background, Mr. Davis is often able to give various perspectives with decisions and purchases. He is also very technology minded and thinks progressively toward the District’s vision. Having three children attend the District has given him a well-rounded, district-level perspective from pre-k – twelfth grade. He is always interested in progress, and especially academic success by providing more opportunities for Beebe students.
The Beebe Chamber of Commerce is taking nominations for various awards, including BPS Educator of the Year. http://bit.ly/2j15UC4
During the month of January we will be featuring our Beebe School Board members for School Board Member Recognition Month.
Mr. Clay Goff is serving in his fourth year as a Beebe School Board member and is the current President of the Board. Mr. Goff’s financial expertise and real estate expertise are beneficial to the operation of the Beebe School Board, but “people skills” is his specialty. He is able to successfully communicate with people from all walks of life and is a great role model. He brings his special talents to enhance serving on the board, which benefit the District. As a Beebe School District graduate, with children who attend the District, he has a total understanding and is keenly aware of the District’s future needs. Mr. Goff is a team player who desires the best education possible for all students attending the Beebe School District.
