PRAIRIE GROVE — Arvest Bank has announced Frank Holman will join the board of directors for Arvest Bank in Prairie Grove.

Before becoming an assistant professor of educational leadership and administration for Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, Holman most recently served as the superintendent of Lincoln Consolidated School District from 2007 to 2012.

He also was a teacher, coach and high school principal at those schools and was a teacher and coach in Clinton and Belleville school districts.

“Frank Holman is an educational leader and community spirited individual, exactly the kind of person we like to have on our local directorial board,” said Mike Willard, Arvest Bank CEO and president in Prairie Grove. “His 39 years’ experience as an educational administrator provides the oversight experience and local knowledge we treasure as a community-based bank.”

A native of Danville, Holman earned two bachelor’s degrees from Arkansas Tech University, an educational specialist’s degree and master’s degree from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, and an educational doctorate from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
