Honoring the “Super Seniors” of 1956: A Lesson in Honor and Sacrifice

The inclusion of these “super seniors” as part of the graduation ceremony came as a delightful surprise for the Class of 2022. It not only celebrated their own achievements but also taught them a valuable lesson in honor and sacrifice. The Springdale Superintendent, Jared Cleveland, read heartfelt letters from Governor Asa Hutchinson and U.S. Representative Steve Womack, praising the veterans for their selflessness and bravery.

Representative Womack wrote, “They served during the time of the Korean conflict and beyond. At that time, they didn’t think about themselves, they didn’t think, ‘What about me?’ They answered the call of duty. Is that not the truest spirit of America?” The educators took a moment to highlight the exceptional achievements of each veteran since joining the Air Force in 1956.

After 66 years, these four remarkable men finally received their long-awaited diplomas from their alma mater. It was a well-deserved recognition of their contributions. As they say, “Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog!”

Let’s take a moment to congratulate Carl Stults, Bobby Burke, Charles Leroy Moon, and Bob Self on their honorary diplomas! Their dedicated service to our country is truly commendable. It is because of brave individuals like them that we have the privilege of living in the great country we do today. Share their story and join us in celebrating these men and their remarkable accomplishments and sacrifices.
