Our instructional coaches work behind the scenes to support our teachers and elevate classroom instruction. They provide valuable guidance, research-based strategies, and continuous encouragement to help our educators thrive.
We appreciate the standard of excellence they foster across Panther Nation.

Every day, Siloam Springs Schools employees do work that matters.
Maybe it's the teacher who goes above and beyond for your child. The bus driver who greets students by name every morning. The cafeteria team member who makes sure students start their day ready to learn. The custodian, secretary, coach, paraprofessional or staff member who is always there when students and coworkers need them. We will recognize one certified and one classified employee each month.
We all know someone doing outstanding work. Now, help us recognize them.
Nominate a Siloam Springs Schools employee for Employee of the Month and tell us why they deserve it.

Their work matters. Let's make sure they know it.
