Thank YOU Little Rock Community for
Voting Yes!


You know what they say: third time's the charm. After LRSD asked voters twice in 2017 and 2020 for the extended millage, WE finally did it! LRSD won its election on Tuesday, November 2 to extend the debt! Thank you to the LRSD community for showing up at the polls to make this happen. This means upgrades to facilities across the district including Central, Parkview, Dunbar and Hall. In addition to those upgrades, the District has plans to build a new K-8 school on the site of the old McClellan High.  Another planned project is a new 1200-seat traditional high school in west Little Rock. We are so excited about what this means for the future of our district! Check out our thank you video!

HarvestFest 2021 Recap

  


HarvestFest 2021 was a huge success! We had so much fun interacting with the Hillcrest community and spreading the word about our amazing district. We took lots of photos and even got the opportunity to meet LRSD students, parents, and supporters. Special thank you to the district staff members who volunteered their time to man our booth, you are greatly appreciated!

Caught Doing Good


This week's #CaughtDoingGood is Southwest High's civics teacher Mr. Todd Ferguson. Principal Marvin Burton applauds Mr. Ferguson on his organic approach to building relationships with his students. Mr. Ferguson is often spotted in the hallways while students transition to their next class with a sign that will have important info like the date and a nice quote on the back. Mr. Burton says that he witnesses students stop, engage, and actually read the signs. Mr. Ferguson is such a genuine educator who really cares about the emotional health of his students and this week's video really captures that essence.
