This prestigious recognition comes as part of the Arkansas School Recognition Program, which honors schools achieving exceptional outcomes in student academic achievement and growth.

The Arkansas School Recognition Program celebrates 174 schools statewide for student academic achievement and high student academic growth. Schools receiving this award exemplify a commitment to excellence in education, demonstrating the significant impact of collaboration and a focus on student success.
“We are incredibly proud of our Morrilton High School family for this remarkable accomplishment,” said Craig Pinion, Principal of Morrilton High School. “This recognition reflects our dedication to nurturing a culture of growth, achievement, and lifelong learning.”
