Students at Little Rock Central High School had the incredible opportunity to interview Ms. Elizabeth Eckford, a member of the historic Little Rock Nine, for an upcoming podcast. Stay tuned—this is just the beginning of something special!
Last week, Superintendent Dr. Jermall Wright held engaging discussions with students at Hall-West, Little Rock Southwest, and Parkview and Central High Schools about cell phone usage in schools. Students shared valuable insights on how cell phones impact their academics and activities. These conversations are helping shape the district’s approach to creating a positive learning environment.
