When school buses stop, lives are on the line. Please remember: if the red lights are flashing, you must stop. A child’s life depends on it. Together, we can keep our students safe this school year. 🚸🚌

🎉 Celebrating Our Leaders in Education! 🎉

We are proud to share that Ms. Laura Gray, our ESOL Coordinator, attended the Arkansas IMPACT Fellowship June Symposium in Little Rock from June 25–28, 2025. Representing Southwest Arkansas as an IMPACT Ambassador, Ms. Gray collaborated with ambassadors from across the state and co-produced a session with Cohort 5 members, Brandolyn Patterson and Teresa Blake. She also shared valuable insights on interview strategies with the new Cohorts 9 and 10! 🌟

👏 A big congratulations also goes out to Mr. Michael Herron, who was recently selected as the newest Arkansas IMPACT member for Hope School District!

We are grateful for the leadership, dedication, and excellence that both Ms. Gray and Mr. Herron bring to our students and schools. 💙❤️ #HopePublicSchools #WeEmpower
