MAYNARD SCHOOL DISTRICT

Welcome to my superintendent page. If you have been on the campus you will have noticed that we have a new high school. It sits on the hill north of the current high school campus. It currently houses the administrative offices, the 4-6 grade students, the special education department for the high school and the band/music department. If you have been by the elementary you would have noticed a new building going up. This building will house our 4-6 students along with the principal's office.

We would like to welcome three new teachers this year.

Aaron Buchman  graduated from Paragould high school in 2002. He attended Arkansas Tech University, where he graduated with a B.S. in biology and a minor in chemistry in 2009. He has worked in science in both the public and private sector for the past 9 years. He has been looking for a career that was both challenging and rewarding when he heard about the APPEL program for teaching. He started substitute teaching last year and loved it. And, that lead me here to our great school.
