We are excited to welcome Brittany Belyeu, known to her students as Miss B. At 25 years old, she brings a creative spirit and a heart for education to her role. Brittany and her longtime boyfriend, Caleb, have been together for nearly seven years. Brittany has a strong passion for arts and crafts, especially sewing and math.
She officially began her new role as an ALE Paraprofessional on May 5th but has already been a familiar face around Gentry Middle School as a substitute teacher since August 2024. During that time, she primarily worked with the ALE class and built strong connections with both staff and students.
In addition to her classroom work, Brittany started a sewing club at the middle school, where she teaches students basic techniques to create projects like handmade pillowcases.
Brittany is excited and honored to officially join the Gentry Pioneers faculty and looks forward to continuing to grow alongside the students and staff she’s already come to admire.

We are excited to welcome Shannon Paxton as our new Library Media Specialist. Originally from Mississippi, she moved to Arkansas to pursue her college education. With over 20 years of experience teaching English Language Arts in Northwest Arkansas—most of those years within the Bentonville School District—she brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and dedication to her work.
She holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Central Arkansas, a Master of Arts in Teaching from Harding University, and a Master of Education from Arkansas Tech University.
She and her husband, Robert, are proud parents to two daughters, Savannah and Scarlett. Their family is rounded out by their two lively Goldendoodles, Sunny and Emmy Lou, who always keep things interesting. Together, they enjoy life on their farm, relaxing days at Beaver Lake, and cheering on the Razorbacks at any opportunity.
With a deep passion for literacy, she strives to ignite that same love in her students. Her enthusiasm for the author’s craft, creative expression, and literary exploration brings energy and depth to both the classroom and the library media center. As a seasoned educator and team leader, she also enjoys supporting fellow teachers by sharing innovative and engaging instructional strategies.
Beyond her professional life, she is actively involved in the Arkansas Baptist Association of Master Singers, serves and sings in her church, supports families of individuals with special needs, and creates practical resources for educators. She is excited to join the Gentry Middle School team and looks forward to contributing to the continued growth and success of its students.

We are excited to welcome Taylor Lewis to Gentry Public Schools as our new Middle School Assistant Principal. Taylor holds a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Arkansas State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Arkansas. He brings 12 years of teaching experience, having worked with students in every grade from 6th through 12th and covering nearly every mathematics subject along the way. Taylor even spent a year teaching preschool and English credit recovery—though, thankfully, not at the same time.
Throughout his career, Taylor has taught and held teacher leadership roles at three different schools. He is thrilled to now call Gentry home and to join the Gentry School District. Taylor’s wife, Loren, serves as the Recruiting Director and HR Supervisor at Camp War Eagle. Together, they are raising two energetic boys who love soccer, Pokémon, Minecraft, and rollercoasters.
Taylor feels deeply grateful and excited for the opportunity to be part of the Gentry School District, a community he describes as having prestige, heart, and incredible potential. He looks forward to serving the students, staff, and broader community and believes this opportunity marks the beginning of something truly special.
In his free time, Taylor enjoys watching sports—especially cheering for the Arkansas Razorbacks, Philadelphia Eagles, and Golden State Warriors. He also loves playing video games with his family and is an enthusiastic fantasy football player. True to his background in math, Taylor often creates detailed spreadsheets for his fantasy teams—whether or not they improve his standings, they always make draft day a lot more fun.
