Madison Campbell, teacher at El Dorado High School, attended Arkansas Tech University where she received a Bachelor of Arts in English Education. She currently teaches 9th grade Pre-Ap English.
ATU was not Mrs. Campbell’s first choice for college. She originally planned on attending ASU-Jonesboro with her friends; however, she went on a tour of ATU and immediately fell in love with the campus. “The tour was wonderful, the staff/faculty was very accommodating, and I found the Department of English and World Langagues, my new home for four years. Choosing ATU was the best decision that I made for my future.”
Although ATU is one of the larger schools in the state, Mrs. Campbell loved the small-town feel that it provided. “You still felt like you were at home. Class sizes were small, professors were helpful, and there were many ways to get involved,” she said. She was an Resident Advsior (RA) and an officer in the NRHH (National Residence Hall Honorary), which allowed her to be involved in all things related to dorm life. Mrs. Campbell was also involved in campus ministry (CCSC). Mrs. Campbell said, “I was given opportunities that helped shape me into the person that I am today, and I will always be grateful for that.”
Thank you, Mrs. Campbell, for sharing about ATU! If you are interested in learning more about Arkansas Tech University, visit https://www.atu.edu/.

Chae Coan, teacher at El Dorado High School, attended Arkansas State University where she received a Bachelor of Science in Education (Mathematics). She currently teaches Pre-AP Algebra II, Advanced Topics, and AP Calculus AB.
Mrs. Coan chose Arkansas State University to be close to home. She also received several scholarships–enough to cover the majority of the cost. Once she arrived on campus, she found her place quickly. “I pledged Alpha Gamma Delta, a social sorority, and instantly had a very large group of friends.” Being involved in a sorority is one of the things that made her time at ASU special.
Thank you, Mrs. Coan, for sharing about ASU! If you are interested in learning more about Arkansas State University, visit https://www.astate.edu/.

Today, we celebrate Yocum Elementary teacher Stacy Gulick and the positive impact she makes each day!
Mrs. Gulick was Heather McGarity’s daughter’s kindergarten teacher, and the impression Mrs. Gulick made has lasted years. “Her kindness and love for the children was so genuine. As a parent, I felt so much at ease leaving my child with her the first day. Shortly after Christmas, my daughter's grandfather passed away, and the pure love and care she offered to Emily was heartwarming. Her teaching laid such a fabulous foundation that carried forward for years to come.”
Jennifer Harvey, whose children were also students of Mrs. Gulick, said, “She is a great lady. My kids are older, and she still checks on them and treats them so good.”
Thank you, Mrs. Gulick, for all you do for your students!
