CRPS would like to Thank the following businesses and churches for thinking of us during Teacher Appreciation Week.

Welcome Tanner Womack! "I am super excited for the opportunity to coach and teach here at Cossatot going into my 4th year of education. I went to Southern Arkansas University where I earned my bachelors in sports management and was part of the rodeo team. Other than my professional life I am an avid outdoorsman. I spend a big part of my time away from work hunting, fishing, and roping. Me and my fiancé Lina are also welcoming a new member to the family this year. There are many reasons for me to be excited for the coming year."

Welcome Coach Brad Lyle! "I am excited to be returning home to coach and teach at Cossatot River. My journey in education spans 27 years, beginning at Dumas and then spending the past 26 years at Mena. Graduating from Wickes High School in 1991 laid the foundation for my academic pursuits. I received a BSE from Henderson State University in 1996 and an MSE in Educational Leadership from Arkansas State University in 2019. Beyond my professional life, my heart belongs to my family. I am married to Linda Lyle, and together, we cherish our six children and anticipate the arrival of another grandchild to add to our five blessings. Whether it is cheering on the Razorbacks and Rangers, exploring the waters for kayak fishing, or enjoying a round of golf, every moment spent with my loved ones is precious. Returning to a community that has enriched my family's life over the years is an absolute honor. I can't wait to give back and support the Eagles with all my heart. Go Eagles!"
