Rayleigh Turner, a senior at Rural Special, signed today to play Division II basketball at North Arkansas College. She received a full athletic scholarship, which includes tuition, books, and all fees. We are so proud of Rayleigh, and we have thoroughly enjoyed watching her play with heart, grit, and grace. Although Rayleigh is officially a Pioneer, she will always be a REBEL! Our elementary students gave her a last hurrah by cheering her on! She is a wonderful inspiration for all of our young Rebels! We love you, Ray!!!
