Significant Upgrades
The historic Little Rock Central High School is on the verge of receiving much-needed upgrades. Highlights of the campus' additions include a new science wing and fieldhouse. We are excited to again work with Polk Stanley Wilcox, the Little Rock architecture firm leading the project. Special shout-out to LRCH alum Sarah Bennings, who is spearheading the project for PSW. Here's a question for you. When was the last time Central had a new building added to the campus?
