The Bald Knob School District is grieving as we come to terms with the loss of one of our middle school students.
On Monday, November 2, the life of Noah Harrell was tragically cut short. Noah was loved by many with friends and family across our K-12 campuses. As we continue to grieve the loss of our friend, classmate, and student, we extend our deepest condolences to his parents, Brad Harrell and Amanda Tarvin, older brother and sisters, Jacob Harrell, Brooklyn Harrell and Seairra Zomant, and the entire family.
Additional counselors were on site today and will be in the upcoming days. Please keep Noah's family, friends, and staff in your thoughts and prayers.
