Harmony Grove High School Wins Teamwork Challenge and $2500!

Summit Bank has named Harmony Grove High School as the winner of the Teamwork Challenge Contest. Created by Summit Bank, the Teamwork Challenge Contest offered schools throughout Central and South Arkansas the opportunity to win a cash donation by showcasing the special attributes of their team. As the winning team, Harmony Grove High School will receive $2500 for the benefit of their school. A community tailgate party will be held on Friday October 29th from 4:30 until 6:30 pm with Summit Bank in honor of Harmony Grove High School.

The other four high school team finalists in the contest were: Magnolia, Bismarck, Glen Rose and Arkadelphia.

The contest, which ran from August 30 to September 30, asked entrants to answer the question: What makes your team special? Harmony Grove’s video entry featured its football players talking about the importance of teamwork, school spirit and pride as their second year as a football team. The team showcased highlights and special moments in Harmony Grove football in their video as well as their essay.

“Summit Bank congratulates Harmony Grove High School and every school that entered our contest,” said Ross Whipple, Vice Chairman and CEO of Summit Bank. “We at Summit Bank salute the role teamwork plays in athletic and academic achievement in schools across our market area of Central and South Arkansas.”

Eight local high schools submitted videos, photos as well as essays explaining, “What makes YOUR team special.” All submissions were posted online on Summit Bank’s facebook page and our online blog.
