Wampus Cat Pride: Celebrating Remarkable Academic Achievement!

This week at our October School Board meeting, we proudly recognized Conway High School senior Tyson Garlow for an incredible accomplishment — being named a National Merit Semifinalist!

Representing fewer than 1% of high school seniors nationwide, this prestigious recognition through the National Merit Scholarship Program reflects Tyson’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to academic excellence. Tyson was the only Conway High School student to earn this honor, and we couldn’t be prouder!

We also celebrated an exciting partnership with the Conway Development Corporation designed to encourage more students to take the PSAT/NMSQT and pursue this prestigious recognition. Jamie Gates, Executive Vice President of the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce and representative of the Conway Development Corporation, joined us to share more about the initiative.

Through this partnership, eligible juniors who take the PSAT/NMSQT on October 27 and score 213 or higher will receive $500, beginning with the Class of 2027. Students who go on to become National Merit Semifinalists will receive an additional $1,000 during their senior year. As part of this initiative, Tyson was presented with a $1,500 check in recognition of his achievement! 👏

Congratulations, Tyson! We are so proud of the way you represent Conway High School and Conway Public Schools. We’ll be cheering you on as you continue your journey toward becoming a National Merit Finalist! 💙🐾

At this week’s October School Board meeting, we were proud to recognize our Baseball and Girls Soccer teams for earning State Academic Championships for the 2025–2026 school year!

These student-athletes prove that being a Champion means working hard both on and off the field! We are proud of their dedication to academics, athletics, and representing Conway Public Schools with excellence. 💙

A special congratulations to the coaches, seniors, and all team members, including last year’s seniors, who contributed to these incredible accomplishments!
