Arkansas City High School has announced the creation of the ACHS Hall of Fame, a new program celebrating graduates who have made a difference through their careers and community service.
“By connecting with our past, we hope to inspire current students to chase their career and civic goals, whether that’s right here at home or abroad,” said Program Coordinator Eric Burr.
The first induction will take place in October 2026, honoring two alumni each year, one local and one living outside Cowley County. Nominations are open now, and community members are invited to help shape the program by serving on the Selection Committee.

Ark City voters will decide the future of local schools on Nov. 4, 2025. Two proposed bond measures would improve safety, modernize classrooms, and expand early childhood education across USD 470 — with 30% state aid offsetting costs. Proposition 1 funds major additions at Arkansas City Middle School and districtwide upgrades, while Proposition 2 would build a new Pre-K Center (contingent on Prop 1 passing).
