Sylvan Hills High School - PCSSD

Sylvan Hills High School is proud to recognize Jaiya Hampton and Kyra Looney, two graduating Bears who have served our campus as dedicated AVID assistant staff members. Their leadership, consistency, and commitment to supporting our AVID students have made a meaningful impact on the SHHS community.

Thanks to the generosity of Baldwin & Shell, both students were awarded the Bobby Agee AVID Scholarship, sponsored through the SHMS PTSA. Each scholarship provides $1,000 to support their continued educational journey.

🎓 Jaiya Hampton will be attending Arkansas State University in Jonesboro.
🎓 Kyra Looney will be attending the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

We are grateful for community partners like Baldwin & Shell who invest in our students’ futures. Please join us in congratulating Kyra and Jaiya as they take their next steps.
