"Hello! My name is Josie Burke! I graduated college in December 2023 from Southern Arkansas University, and I have been teaching the past six months at Hugh Goodwin Elementary School in El Dorado, Arkansas. I am originally from De Queen, and I am so excited to be closer to home! I am getting married on May 25th to Carson Nichols. I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to teach at Cossatot River Primary School, and I can't wait to experience all of the wonderful things God has in store."

"I have been in public education for twenty-three years, eighteen of those as a high school principal. I have also served as a professional development provider at the district, co-op, and state-level programs. My wife and I recently took two years off to travel but are back home now to spend time with our grown children and a brand-new granddaughter. With a B.S.E from the University of Central Arkansas; and an M.S.E. and Ed.S. from Arkansas State University, I have always felt that I have had the most positive effect on teaching and learning when I have been in a position to serve other educators in their respective roles. I am excited that my role at Cossatot River will allow me to do that again!

"This will be my first year of teaching Math. I look forward to sharing my love of math with my students. I graduated from the University of Arkansas. I am coming from and agriculture business background. I have 4 daughters. I have been married for 10 years. My hobbies include riding horses and reading."

I am a recent graduate of SAU in Magnolia, AR. I'm the daughter of Jim Bob and Beth Lamb of Nashville, AR. I enjoy photography, road trips, and being outdoors. I am excited to start my first year of teaching as the Umpire kindergarten teacher. I am looking forward to meeting new people and working with the students to help mold them into wonderful individuals. Go Wildcats!

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!"
