About the Almanac

Purpose

The Arkansas High School Championship Almanac organizes compiled championship records into a searchable public history. It is owned and operated by E4TE Productions, not a separate company.

Editor

The Almanac is guided by an editor-led research and verification process. Meet the founder and editor →

School changes and consolidations

Names are standardized only when identity is certain. Historical aliases remain traceable. Different schools with similar names are not automatically merged, while documented renames and consolidations use a stable school identifier.

Shared titles and rankings

Each school receiving a shared championship receives a school-title record. Rankings are calculated from those records using competition ranking for ties.

Research sources

The Almanac is compiled through original research using historical archives, governing-body records, specialist databases and education research. Sources used in the project include:

• Arkansas Activities Association Archives
• Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Historical Archives
• MileSplit
• Horn Rank
• Arkansas Governor's Quiz Bowl Association
• Office of Education Policy, University of Arkansas
• Pro Football Reference — professional-football athlete discovery and verification
• Basketball Reference — professional-basketball athlete discovery and verification

Inclusion in this list identifies research resources used across the project. It does not imply affiliation, endorsement, or that every organization independently verifies every Almanac record.

Limitations

Coverage begins at different times by sport. Early classifications and school metadata can be incomplete. City analysis is withheld until distinguishable city data is available. The 2020s remain an incomplete decade.

Updates

The database is designed for staged imports with validation, duplicate detection and reconciliation before publication.
