On behalf of the Pine Bluff High School art students, I would like to cordially invite you to the opening reception of “This Is Us.” The event will take place at the Arts & Science Center (701 S. Main St.) on Thursday, March 19 from 5–7 p.m. “This Is Us” is a collection of portraits created by the young artists of Pine Bluff High School that explore identity, connection, and influence. Through images of themselves, loved ones, and individuals they admire, students express who they are and who has shaped them. Each portrait reflects the artist’s unique style, creative choices, and personal perspective. Together, these portraits celebrate our differences, our connections, and the community we share. The following students will have work featured in the exhibition: Abram, Aelya Armon, Branden Bass, Alayja Brown, Deashia Burgess, Justin Calhoun, Taylor Crosby, Jayla Freeman, Antonio Gragg, Damarion Grant, Kaitlynn Green, Felicia Hamlet, Joven Hardwell, Chelsea Haynes, Tyreyshia Huante, Christopher Hunter, Nasir Isom, Alyssia Johnson, Janessa Marshall, Kadence Newton, Promise Nugent, London Owens, Kam'Ron Reyes-Charcas, Lucia Smith, Madison Smith, Markus Swiney, Spirit Thomas, Parker Watson, Catriece Whitfield, Shamiya Williams, Jordan We hope you will join us in celebrating the creativity and talent of our students.

✨ A Powerful Night of Literacy at Pine Bluff High School! ✨ On Tuesday, March 10, the Pine Bluff High School Language Department hosted LITerally Speaking: Literacy Night in the Little Gym. Students and families enjoyed an inspiring evening filled with poetry, art, and creative expression, showcasing the many ways literacy allows us to tell our stories and share our voices. One of the highlights of the evening was a featured space led by our Career Coaches titled “From Classroom to Career: The Power of Literacy.” This interactive area helped families see how the reading, writing, and communication skills students learn in English class translate directly into real-world careers. Local professionals hosted engaging literacy stations where students and families participated in hands-on activities such as: 🏥 Healthcare Literacy – Reviewing patient instruction sheets with the JRMC School of Nursing and Dr. Rontae Graham of Taylor & Carter Family Dentistry 📱 Media & Communications – Creating content and social media captions with Cary Clayton of Cary Clayton Media 📚 Library & Research Literacy – Signing up for library cards and learning about careers in librarianship with the Pine Bluff–Jefferson County Public Library 👩🏾‍🍳 Culinary Literacy – Writing and explaining their own recipes with Chef Kiara Ford of Oasis Catering Events like this remind us that literacy is more than reading and writing—it is the foundation for success in every career field. Thank you to our students, teachers, families, and community partners who made the evening such a success!
