First Community Bank’s Bus Driver of the Month for September: Mr. Gary Lawler!

Mr. Roberts, our MHPS Transportation Supervisor, recently received a wonderful call from a parent who wanted to recognize Gary for going above and beyond for one of his students.

It’s always special to hear when our staff make a difference, and we’re proud to recognize Gary for the care and dedication he shows the students he serves each day.

Congratulations, Gary, and thank you for helping keep our Bombers safe on the road!

Learning from those who serve!

Criminal Justice students had the opportunity to hear firsthand from Sgt. Jackie Stinnett, Cpl. Clint Henderson, and Cpl. Kevin Helm of the Arkansas State Police.

After learning about careers in law enforcement in the classroom, students were able to hear directly from the troopers about their roles, career paths, and what it takes to serve in law enforcement.

Before the visit was over, Sgt. Stinnett did a little career exploration of his own! He climbed into one of our Aviation Program flight simulators and successfully took off in a commercial airliner!

We appreciate Sgt. Stinnett, Cpl. Henderson, and Cpl. Helm for taking the time to share their experiences with our students and give them a real-world look at careers in law enforcement.
