Meet Bailey Marshall, a 6th grader at Magnolia Middle School who’s discovering the power of music—and the difference it can make!
Just like every student when school begins, Bailey was adjusting to new routines and expectations at MMS. Thanks to the support of his teachers, he soon discovered a spark that motivated him to give his best every day.
From the moment Bailey received his baritone in the MMS beginner band and started playing his first notes, his attitude and effort in all his classes improved. His teacher, Mrs. Foster, has noticed that Bailey is now more enthusiastic, attentive, and actively participating every day.
Because of his passion for music, Bailey has grown into a stronger student—and an inspiration to those around him. 🎶
We can’t wait to see Bailey continue to shine, both in the classroom and on the stage! 💫

Panther Cross Country Team Shows Exceptional Character and Support in DeQueen Meet
Magnolia, AR — At the Leopard Invitational in De Queen, AR, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, one Panther runner faced an unexpected setback when he twisted his knee during the race. While the injury affected his performance, what stood out most was the incredible display of teamwork, compassion, and Panther spirit shown by his fellow athletes.
As the runner worked to make it back to the tent, his teammates immediately rallied to his side. Several athletes, along with the runners' parent, helped him walk, while others provided encouragement and support every step of the way. Head coach of Panther Cross Country, Ryan Franks, quickly contacted Magnolia Panther Athletic Trainer John Caston, who guided teammates Presley Hanson and Dejuan Dismuke, who are in the Magnolia School District’s Athletic Training program, on wrapping his knee to prevent future injuries.
In addition to their physical support, the team showed heartfelt admiration for their teammate’s perseverance and determination to finish the race despite his injury. Their collective encouragement, quick action, and unwavering care exemplify what it means to be a Panther.
“This team is so amazing,” the athlete's mom said. “Their capacity to rally around one another in times of need is a hallmark of their exceptional character. As a team parent, I am deeply grateful to have witnessed this team’s growth and development over the years and eagerly look forward to their future achievements.”
The Magnolia School District celebrates the Panther Cross Country team not only for their athletic performance, but also for the outstanding sportsmanship, empathy, and unity they continue to display.

🌟🐾 Panther Spotlight 🐾🌟
Magnolia High School freshman Maram Barjas was recently caught being proactively kind, caring, and supportive of her classmates!
In Advanced World History, Maram went out of her way to support classroom expectations. When a student exited the classroom, she immediately stepped up to check and secure the door—without being prompted. Later that same day, she showed another act of service by gathering textbooks at the end of class and returning them to the bookshelf, simply because she saw the need.
By noticing and caring for others, Maram truly exemplifies what it means to be a student leader at MHS. We are proud of her Panther Pride in action! ❤️🤍

Magnolia High School’s Nyc O’Guinn Receives Prestigious 2025 Brandon Burlsworth Character Award
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 28, 2025
Magnolia High School’s Nyc O’Guinn Receives Prestigious 2025 Brandon Burlsworth Character Award
Magnolia, AR — Magnolia High School proudly congratulates senior student-athlete Nyc O’Guinn on being named the recipient of the 2025 Brandon Burlsworth Character Award, one of the most prestigious honors for high school athletes in Arkansas. Nyc is the first student in Magnolia School District history to receive this distinguished recognition.
The Brandon Burlsworth Character Award, which originated in Arkansas in 2004, is now presented nationwide to high school football players who exemplify outstanding character and sportsmanship. Unlike performance-based athletic honors, this award celebrates athletes who may or may not be top performers on the field, but who embody the ideals and values of Brandon Burlsworth—to give 100 percent effort in competition and to serve as a moral example for their team.
“Nothing but God! Today I was blessed to receive the Brandon Burlsworth Award! The first in Magnolia History! The highest award you can receive in Arkansas! Words cannot describe how thankful I am for receiving this award! Instilled in me by my parents at a young age, was having a good character. I was able to maintain this high character due to the great environment I am around every single day! Underclassman, character will go so much further than football, always remember that! To my coaches, thank you for believing in me when others didn't. Magnolia, thank you so much for playing a part of forming me into the young man I am today, I am honored to receive this award as a Magnolia Panther!”
— Nyc O’Guinn
The award not only recognizes Nyc’s integrity, dedication, and sportsmanship but also serves as a call to excellence for others. “We hope that the award encourages the honoree to continue on his path of excellence, and inspires others to follow his lead,” said representatives of the Brandon Burlsworth Foundation.
Nyc’s achievement is a powerful reflection of his commitment to personal growth, leadership, and humility. His influence reaches beyond the football field, making him a role model among his peers and a source of pride for the entire Magnolia community.
The Magnolia School District celebrates this historic moment and joins students, staff, and families in congratulating Nyc on this extraordinary accomplishment.
