Arkadelphia Public Schools

Arkadelphia Public Schools Students of Ms. Judith Davis gave an inspiring performance today in honor of Black History and the legacy of Claudette Colvin. Claudette is an American pioneer of the 1950s civil rights movement. Her story is not as well known as some of her peers but her story is just as impactful! Great job students! #BadgerPride

Second-grade classes had a speaker on Friday that came from the American Red Cross in Little Rock. The students have been learning about The Civil War in their CKLA literacy curriculum.
