We recently received a heartfelt message from Julia A. Bailey Dulan, daughter of Edward and Henrietta Bailey--two remarkable educators who devoted their lives to the students of Malvern, Arkansas. Julia and her husband Michael have committed $50,000 to the University of Arkansas Land of Opportunity Scholarship in honor of her parents (who our Malvern High School auditorium is named after!), and we are so moved to share this story with our community.
Edward Bailey Sr. served as principal of Annie Agnes Wilson High School for 18 years before serving as assistant principal of Malvern High School until his passing in 1976. Henrietta Bailey taught, counseled, and poured herself into Malvern students for 40 years before retiring in 1981. Their combined legacy of service to education in this community is extraordinary.
In a beautiful full-circle moment, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, ensuring that the Bailey family's dedication to Malvern students continues for generations to come.
To Julia and Michael Dulan, thank you for honoring your parents in such a meaningful and lasting way. The Leopard Family is deeply grateful, and we know Edward and Henrietta would be so proud. 🧡🖤🐆

Twenty-five years ago, our nation came together in a way that reminded us all what it truly means to be American.
On this Patriot Day, we honor the victims, the first responders, the survivors, and the service members who answered the call in the days, months, and years that followed. We will never forget.
Here at Malvern School District, we are proud to say that every morning, our students stand together in their classrooms and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. One nation. Indivisible. With liberty and justice for all.
That is not just a tradition. It is a reminder of who we are and what we stand for, today and every day. 🇺🇸 🐆

We are so grateful that our community stayed safe and that damage to our facilities was minor. A huge thank you to our incredible maintenance team who went straight to work to ensure a safe return for our students, and to our Chartwells staff who worked quickly to make sure our kids would have food ready to go on Monday morning.
These important people in our community made sure that we were able to have a smooth opening today!
We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Entergy crews who worked 48 hours straight to restore power and clear the roads for safe bus travel. That kind of dedication does not go unnoticed and we are so thankful for them!

They showed up for our community when it mattered most. 🧡🖤🐆

Leopard Family, we have some very important news to share with you all.
We are heartbroken to share the passing of one of our own.
Myles Ilan Tatum, a beloved 9-year-old student at Malvern Elementary School, passed away on Monday, August 10, 2026. Myles was a bright and curious scholar who loved the periodic table, geography, multiplication, linguistics, and music. He was devoted to learning both the piano and cello, and his love for life touched everyone around him.
Myles was more than a student — he was a light. His laughter, his curiosity, and his kind spirit made him unforgettable to all who knew him. He will be deeply missed by his teachers, his classmates, and our entire Leopard Family.
Please keep his parents Marcus and Sasha, his siblings, and his entire family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
