❗ Parent Reminder ❗ All parents need to go through the car rider line to drop off and pick up their student. Please do not park at the other buildings and walk your child over. We are working out our first week jitters and promise the car rider lines will get faster.
Starting tomorrow (Tuesday, August 17), Glenn A. Duffy will not dismiss kids out the front door, unless they are approved walkers that live in the walk zone. If parents walk over, we will ask them to go back to their car and get in the car line.
You can view maps of all the drop-off/pick-up locations for our schools on our website with the link below! #experiencethepride

Alumni Spotlight!
Two Gravette High School graduates are making their mark in the college football world. Junior Tajae White and senior Chris Childress helped Hendrix College finish their spring season with a number 14 national ranking. Both former lions turned warriors were featured in Hooten's Football Preview magazine this year. White caught five passes during the spring season and Childress made a 37-yard touchdown against Austin College. We’re rooting for both men to have another excellent season this year!
