It's Public Schools Week! Reason #4 to attend the NLRSD: Support for Each Child’s Academic Needs We want every student to thrive, and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that. We provide accommodations and services to support students who need a boost or greater academic depth. We look forward to working with families to enhance their student’s educational experience.

The NLRHS student ambassadors represent their campus and respective career academy. They provide students, potential students, families, and businesses with information on their school, their paths of study, and represent the student body at various events. The ambassadors are model scholars and do an exceptional job of promoting their school and providing insight on the various opportunities afforded to students.

It's Public Schools Week! Reason #3 to attend the NLRSD: Qualified Staff Our dedicated staff have truly done their homework. They have the degrees and certifications to serve in the spaces they occupy as mandated by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. In addition, they continue to develop new skills and techniques through ongoing professional development.

It's Public Schools Week! Reason #2 to attend the NLRSD: Variety of Extracurricular Activities Yes, we are committed to teaching and learning in the NLRSD, but we also know learning continues after the school day ends.

Do you want to be a part of the academic competitions? You can do that right here with us.

It's Public Schools Week! Reason #1 to attend the NLRSD: Diverse School Community The North Little Rock School District is extremely diverse, and our campuses bring together students from all walks of life. Our students come from homes where more than 20 different languages are spoken, reflecting the rich cultural diversity of our community. This creates a vibrant and welcoming environment for everyone.

All NLRSD campuses and offices will reopen on Monday, February 24, at their regular times. For our high school students, tomorrow will be an A Day. See you tomorrow!

Studying agriculture exposes scholars to a diverse range of career opportunities. A recent USDA report indicates that 22.1 million full- and part-time jobs were related to agricultural and food sectors. It’s National FFA Week, and as we prepare for the launch of the North Little Rock 6 Academy of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences in the fall, we will take a look at some potential careers in agriculture. Career #7: Soil Scientist A soil scientist studies land and water resources to better understand soil that will be used for agriculture, forestry, and urban development. A soil scientist is the go-to person for all things related to preserving soil for growing communities, potential water shortages, food supply and demand, and erosion.
