Alma School District Selects Next Superintendent; Duffie to serve first year as Deputy Superintendent
Alma School District is pleased to announce that Bryan Duffie has been chosen as the Deputy Superintendent. He will be succeeding Mr. David Woolly and taking up the Superintendent post upon Mr. Woolly’s retirement on July 1, 2022. Dr. Duffie will be working alongside Mr. Woolly for the 2021-2022 school year.
Dr. Duffie is currently the Superintendent of the Jacksonville School District, where he has served in that role for the last four years. He will be bringing his experience and leadership in school administration to continue the long tradition of excellence that Alma is known for.
He brings a wealth of experiences that will benefit Alma in the years to come. In addition to his superintendency in Jacksonville he was superintendent at Jonesboro Westside School District for seven years. He holds a Doctorate of Educational Leadership from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and for many years has established himself as one of the leading educators in Arkansas. He has worked extensively with state education leaders, including the Department of Education and the Arkansas General Assembly, and has made countless presentations to a wide variety of educational groups across Arkansas and surrounding states.
When asked, Dr. Duffie stated “I am appreciative of the support from the Alma School Board, and I look forward to working with Alma School District Board members, faculty and staff, and Alma community members as we work together to continue to build upon the Alma School District’s tradition of success,” says Duffie. “I have been familiar with the Alma District for several years, and have long admired the many great programs, staff, and facilities that are in place.”
Alma School District is looking forward to getting to know Dr. Duffie and we are excited to have his expertise and leadership. We know he will be a great asset to our schools, students, and community. Please help us welcome him to Team Airedale!!

APS Star Students!!
APS Star Staff
This week’s STAR Staff Member is a kid magnet! Our students love her. If they see her walking into the room, they smile (or run up to hug her). If they see her outside at recess, they want to play with her. Why? Because she not only helps them and plays with them… she encourages and inspires them! Mrs. Lindsey Johnson is the teaching assistant in the classes of Mrs. Hutchinson, Mrs. Gillingham, and Mrs. Sanders. In the mornings she greets the students who are car drop off and in the afternoons she helps with parent pickup making sure our students safely get into their vehicles. Mrs. Johnson has been working at Alma Schools for 2 years and is a proud Alma graduate. She loves the outdoors, fitness, hunting, and fishing with her husband and boys! “I love working here because I love my coworkers and my kiddos. I’m a kid at heart and I love playing with them at recess.”
Mrs. Johnson’s colleagues love her as well:
Mrs. Johnson is amazing, she is intuitive and hard-working.
She goes above and beyond with a smile on her face and always gives her best!
She is so good at building relationships with students and teachers.
She is kindhearted and she is willing to help wherever she is needed.
She is very motivating to the students.
We appreciate how much you pour into these students each day and your love for APS. Thank you, Mrs. Johnson!
