Gravette agricultural education has been awarded a $10,000 grant from Build My Future NWA to support and enhance the Agricultural Mechanics program.

With this grant, we will be able to replace welding equipment, some of which has been in use for over 30 years. The funds will also be invested in other modern shop tools. We look forward to our students attending the annual Build My Future career fair this spring to connect with industry professionals.

A sincere thank you to Build My Future NWA for their support. And thanks to the Gravette FFA Chapter for sharing this great news on their Facebook page. Follow them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GravetteHSFFA 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🚌 This week, October 20-24, 2025, Gravette School District is observing National School Bus Safety Week. This time is set aside every year as a reminder that student safety is a shared responsibility between students, families, and all community motorists.

Keeping our students safe during their commute is a top priority. Share these tips with your children:
⌚ Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early.
🚏 Stand five giant steps away from the curb.
🚌 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.

We encourage all Gravette families to review these important tips with their students. We are grateful for our community drivers for their caution and for our transportation staff who work to get our students to and from school safely. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🔍 Lucy the Lion was last seen somewhere students both train and perform. She seems to have wandered into a place that might be older than she is! Comment if you know where before the big reveal tonight.

Lucy has returned after decades away and is roaming the district this week. Each morning brings a new photo clue. Comment your best guess for a chance to win a free drink at Friday’s Homecoming game. Each day will have a different winner, so if you win today, you’ll have to sit on the bench until Homecoming!
