🌟 High School/Middle School Staff Spotlight: Brooke Davis 🌟
Brooke Davis is our 7th/8th-grade Math teacher and has been a part of our staff for the past five years. One of her favorite parts of teaching is the opportunity to truly connect with her students and be someone they can count on each day.
After spending 10 years in banking, Brooke decided to return to school and pursue teaching so she could be present for every moment with her family. In the classroom, she strives to be a bright light for her students and make a meaningful difference every day.
A fun fact that may surprise many is that Brooke is fluent in sign language!
🌟 Elementary Staff Spotlight: Amie Beach 🌟
We’re so lucky to have Amie with us for 22 years! Her dedication and positive energy make her an essential part of our school. Whether she’s supporting our staff or brightening everyone’s day, Amie is always there with a smile and a helping hand. Everyone agrees—she’s doing an amazing job, and we’re grateful for everything she does! 💖

This decision was made with student drivers and bus routes in mind. Thank you for your understanding.
💜 School Board Appreciation Month – Day 4 💜
Today, we are excited to recognize one of our School Board members, Josh Barton!
Josh has been a member of the Westville School Board since 2016. He and his wife, Holly, are proud to call Westville home—even after spending a few years away. Their two sons, Ethan and Alex, are both graduates of Westville.
Ethan (Class of 2020) is married to Josie (Class of 2021), and together they are proud parents to their son, Jamison Joshua. Alex (Class of 2023) is the owner and operator of AB Lawn Maintenance, a business he started at just 15 years old.
Josh considers it an honor to serve the students, teachers, and community that have given so much to his family. As he puts it, “Westville isn’t just where we’re from—it’s who we are.”

💜 School Board Appreciation Month – Day 3 💜
Today, we are excited to recognize our School Board Clerk, Jeremiah Atha!
Jeremiah has served on the school board since 2024 and is a self-employed veterinarian. He is a 1999 high school graduate and began his college journey at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah before transferring to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. He later completed his Bachelor’s degree at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, where he also attended veterinary school, finishing in 2008.
Jeremiah is a proud father of four. His oldest son, Noah, graduated from Lincoln High School last year and is currently attending school at Arkansas State University. His younger children—Jacob, Nathalie, and Clare—all attend Westville Schools. There’s never a dull moment in their home!
In his free time, Jeremiah enjoys farming, spending time in the shop, and working on trucks, tractors, and hay equipment.
We are grateful for his service and dedication to Westville Public Schools and our community.

The McAlester Power Meet scheduled for tomorrow, January 28, has been moved to Thursday, January 29.
Additionally, tomorrow’s Spirit Bus to the TU vs. North Texas game is cancelled. Students who turned in money will receive a refund once school is back in session. While we are disappointed we cannot cheer Buddy on in person, with no school and hazardous back roads, we feel this is the best decision for everyone’s safety.
