We are proud to highlight our Pine Bluff High School scholars taking concurrent courses through Southeast Arkansas College (SEARK) and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB)! 📚
Through these valuable partnerships, our students have the opportunity to experience college-level coursework while still in high school, earn college credit, explore future career and degree pathways, strengthen their academic skills, and potentially reduce the time and cost needed to complete a college degree.
Most importantly, concurrent enrollment gives our scholars an early look at the expectations of higher education and helps prepare them to confidently transition from high school to college and beyond. 🎓
We are excited about our continued partnerships with SEARK and UAPB as we work together to expand opportunities for Pine Bluff students and move our district forward.
Our scholars aren't waiting on the future; they're already preparing for it! 👏🏽

Please join us in welcoming the dedicated administrative team that will lead Pine Bluff Junior High School during the 2026–2027 school year!
Under the leadership of Principal Latanya Paige-Harris, alongside Assistant Principals Trena Green and Kourtney Smith, and Dean of Students Booker Mays, this team is committed to creating a culture where Champions Belong Here.
The Pine Bluff School District officially kicked off the 2026–2027 school year with its annual Convocation, bringing together administrators, faculty, staff, and our newest team members under this year's inspiring theme: "A Champion for Every Child."
Superintendent Carlock challenged every educator and staff member to be more than an employee—to be a champion and advocate for every student who walks through our doors. His message was clear: every child deserves someone who believes in them, supports them, and helps them succeed.
We also proudly welcomed and recognized our new hires, who are joining the Pine Bluff School District family this year.
Board President Arnold Robertson offered words of encouragement before guest speaker Judge Earnest Brown delivered a powerful message about being fully invested in the lives of our students. He reminded us that meaningful change happens one child, one classroom, and one day at a time—and that together, those moments will continue to strengthen the Pine Bluff School District.
The district also recognized 64 outstanding students for their exceptional performance on the Arkansas ATLAS assessment. These scholars earned top scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, demonstrating the academic excellence that continues to grow across our district. 📚
As we celebrate the achievements of our students, welcome new members to our PBSD family, and prepare for another year of learning, one thing is certain—the countdown to the first day of school is almost over, and we are ready to make this our best year yet!
Together, we will be champions for every child. ❤️

Success doesn't happen overnight—it happens one assignment, one act of kindness, and one day of perseverance at a time. Make this your best school year yet!
