School picture day tomorrow!

The Hornet Health Clinic is a full service medical clinic located on the district's main campus which partners with ARcare to provide students with primary, preventative, and convenient healthcare. Join us for an open house and ribbon cutting on September 8 to celebrate the new facility and new provider. Tour the clinic and meet the people committed to keeping our Hornets healthy. Drop by before the big Friday night game against Parkview Magnet.

Congratulations to our very own Dr. Karen Walters for being recognized as the 2024 Arkansas Superintendent of the Year! Dr. Mike Hernandez, Executive Director of the Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators (AAEA), presented her with the award on September 5. Dr. Walters is an exceptional leader who is extremely deserving of this honor. Join us in celebrating her achievement! #BryantProud
