🚗 GDE and GUE families, now that we’re in our second day back, we want to help make drop-off and pick-up even smoother. If you have kiddos in both schools, try dropping off or picking up Gravette Upper Elementary students first before heading to Glenn Duffy Elementary.

📍 GUE’s line typically moves faster, and this order can help reduce wait times for both schools.

🎓 The Class of 2029 took their first steps into high school during Freshman Boot Camp at Gravette High School yesterday! Students met teachers, connected with classmates, explored their new school, and learned what to expect from their first year.

Thank you to First Christian Church and Grand Savings Bank for sponsoring dinner and supporting the mentor training. With guided tours, team activities, and helpful information about courses and routines, the event helped set a strong foundation for the year ahead.

We’re also proud of our student mentors who gave their time to welcome and guide incoming freshmen. Their leadership set a great example and helped establish connections that will last for years. And thank you to Mr. Griffith and student volunteer Allison Arrue for providing photos to help us share the experience. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🦁 Educators from Gravette High School and Gravette Middle School gathered this week for Universal Design for Learning (UDL) training at the Lion Learning Center.

The session brought together general education and special services staff to study how small changes in classroom design can lead to better outcomes for every learner.

Special services is also working with the Northwest Arkansas Education Service Cooperative to provide continued training and support for this work.

Special Education Director Tyler Matlock shared, “We are very excited at what the practices of UDL can do for our students in Gravette Schools. Finding ways to give more access to students of all levels of need in the general education classroom is the goal of our department and district. Partnering with CAST helps us do just that.”

This collaboration reflects a long-term commitment to building systems that work for all students. 🧡 #GravetteSchools #LionPride

🌟 Three Gravette High School students were selected to attend Arkansas Girls State 2025, a premier youth leadership program held at Harding University in Searcy. Leslie Alvarez, Sulli Schaffer, and Parker Pittman joined more than 600 student leaders from across Arkansas for a week of mock government, civic engagement, and community building. Participants formed cities, ran for office, passed legislation, and learned the ins-and-outs of leadership. Girls State is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary and designed to equip young women with the tools to become active, informed citizens. Leslie, Sulli, and Parker did well representing Gravette leadership. Thank you Alison Schaffer for sharing! 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
