Mr. Freeman brings science to life for our high school students at Mt. Judea. He is patient, caring, and kind. We are so thankful to have him in our Eagle family! Here is a little more about Mr. Freeman:
I am blessed with a wonderful wife, Vestina, and two boys, Eason and Elliott. We both graduated from Mt. Judea and its where we call home. I've taught here for over 15 years and graduated from ATU with a bachelors degree in biology and a masters degree in educational leadership. The boys love basketball and Eason loves to fish anywhere, anytime, so you will probably see us on the ballcourts or riding the side by side to the nearby creeks.

"I am married to Donnie. We live on a cattle farm that consumes most of his time. We have two children Adam (April) and Sarah (Andrew). We have five wonderful grandchildren; Allie, Cooper, Karley, Kole, and Kora. I received my master's degree at Arkansas Tech with a Reading Specialist Degree. I love to go hiking, I love to read and my favorite thing is to spend time with my grandchildren. I like to start my mornings early spending time with the good Lord and sometime during the day go on a 2 mile walk with my sister, Carolyn. I truly enjoy teaching and watching children grow in their learning."-Mrs. Willis

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT ⭐️Mikah Perkins⭐️
Love and passion are two words to describe Mrs. Perkins. She is always smiling and willing to help with anything we need. Mrs. Perkins stands up for all her students no matter what! She has been a great advocate for her students and fellow teachers! We are glad she chose to be an Antler!
"As a mother of two, Rylan Perkins (Senior) and Taelah Perkins (Freshman) and a husband, Jeremy, that is very supportive, I am blessed. My hobbies include: reading books (shocker), fishing, watching movies, and loving on my pets. I have four dogs, in which one dog ""belongs"" to one person in the household. We also care for seven cats that seem to wonder on our property as lost kittens from neighbors. Our pets are our family.
I spent majority of my life in some sort of educational setting. I achieved my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice, and I followed it up with a Master of Arts in Art History. I have spent years substitute teaching, and I have taught Reading Intervention for the past two years.
I like to think of myself as a fun-loving person that enjoys finding excitement each day. The students, their education, and their atmosphere in how they receive their education is very important. I hope that the students are excited to come to English class! It is my goal to make it educational, fun, and exciting to learn!”-Mrs. Perkins
The DMJ School Board will meet for the regularly scheduled monthly meeting on Monday, November 13, at 6:30, at the Mt. Judea Cafeteria.

Students from Deer and Mt. Judea launched our District caving program last week with a cleanup and bio survey trip to an Ozark cave! Students removed graffiti and counted ten different species, including a cave millipede and grotto salamander.
We are recognizing all Vets for their service to our great nation Nov. 10th at the basketball game! If you plan to attend please reach out to the school 870-428-8109.
